Making the Turnip Leaves:

Work Back Down the Other Side of the Chain:

• Starting from the end, mirror the pattern you created going up the chain but in reverse, ending with the slip stitches.

Finish the Leaf:

• Sew the ending thread through the leaf to secure, creating one complete leaf.
• Repeat the steps to create a second identical leaf.

Third Increase Round:

Three Rounds of Single Crochets:
