This crochet leaf square would be the perfect addition to a fall inspired throw. Make each square in the colors of autumn. Shades of green and creams would make a beautiful spring blanket. Wall hanging, table runner, and pillows are also options. The raised design is created by the proper placemat of treble front post worked two rows below. It is a quick and easy pattern.
