Maple Leaf Pattern and basic Brick Stitch - Learn How

 

This cute little Maple Leaf is made following a graph and using the Brick Stitch. 

Below I have included basic direction on how to work the brick stitch.

This Maple Leaf Pattern is made using Miyuki Delica Beads, size 11°. I used color #295. Makes a cute necklace drop or earrings.
