This pattern is a good because you can practice several basic stitches, there are links to video tutorials on how to complete these stitches on my site at crochet basics. You can use different yarn, and correct/corresponding hook size for that yarn, to make bigger or smaller leaves if you desire. It takes very little yarn to make these, and once you get good at them they make up very quickly. It can also be a great way to use up left over skeins of yarn.

Materials: 5mm crochet hook (size H), scissors, a yarn needle, #4 medium  weight yarn your choice of color*, You can make the eyes with a fine tip sharpie, fabric marker, or black yarn. *I used Caron Simply Soft Yarn in harvest red, sunshine and pumpkin.
