Project introduction
This is a pattern overview, not a full tutorial. If you love autumn decorating, the Crochet Fall Leaves Garland from GoldenLucyCrafts offers a cozy way to celebrate the season with handmade color. The garland strings together an assortment of crocheted leaves in rich fall shades, creating a warm accent that suits a mantel, an entryway, or any corner that needs seasonal cheer.
The charm of this design lies in its variety. The original garland brings together four different leaf styles, and you can recreate that same layered look or swap in your own favorite leaf shapes to match your home. A mix of tones such as rust, gold, olive, and deep red gives the piece a natural autumn feel without much fuss.
Display options are flexible. The source suggests draping the garland across a mantel, along a wall, or above a window or door to add gentle warmth to a room. Because the chain length is up to you, the project adapts easily to small shelves or wide fireplace surrounds.

Materials I used
Gather your supplies before you begin. The source lists medium weight #4 cotton yarn in colors of choice, with Knit Picks Dishie named as the yarn used for the sample, plus a crochet hook H-8/5 mm, a yarn needle, a sewing needle, and matching sewing threads.
- Medium weight #4 cotton yarn in autumn colors of your choice (sample uses Knit Picks Dishie)
- Crochet hook H-8/5 mm
- Yarn needle for weaving in ends
- Sewing needle
- Matching sewing threads for attaching the leaves to the chain
Finished Size
The sample garland measures about 65 inches long. The source notes that you can adjust the length freely to fit your display space, so the project works for both short shelves and long walls.
Patterns I used
The original garland is built from four individual leaf patterns, worked in the following quantities. Feel free to change the number of pieces to make your garland longer, shorter, or more colorful.
- Crochet pumpkin leaf: make 2
- Crochet autumn leaves: make 8
- Crochet simple leaves: make 2
- Crochet oak leaves: make 3
That gives fifteen leaves in the sample arrangement, but the source encourages you to personalize the count and the mix of leaf types.
Directions
This overview describes the construction approach without reproducing the row-by-row leaf patterns. Each leaf is worked first from its own linked pattern, and the source advises blocking the finished pieces as needed so they lie flat and keep their shape on the garland.
Once the leaves are ready, a long crochet chain forms the base of the garland. The chain length sets the overall length of the piece, so you can make it exactly as long as your space requires. The source recommends leaving approximately 5-7 inches of extra chain at each end so the garland can be tied securely in place.
After arranging the leaves along the chain in an order you like, each leaf is sewn onto the string with a sewing needle and matching thread. That step completes the garland, giving you a finished decoration ready to hang.
