In point 1, I was only able to do 5 sc then the 3 hdc. The I structions say to fold the ch 3 and slst into 1st hdc, but when I watched that part of the video to figure it out, it went into the 3rd hdc. Its a lovely pattern and I paused in my pattern searchustso I could have a pretty maple leaf (in blue wool). Thanks!

Love the leaves 🙂 And you use such pretty colours! Would make a pretty garland too! And funny how everyone thinks the same – I designed one for Canada Day, but yours is a softer looking maple leaf!
