• Hdc in next ch
• Sc in the next
• Slpst in next, you should now be at the end of your base chain, ch 1
• Now, on the other side of the base chain, in the same stitches you already crocheted in, slpst in the same stitch you are in
• Sc in next stitch
• Hdc in the next
• Sc in next
• Slpst in next again
• Slpst to the beginning stitch and end off, leaving a 6 – 8 inch tail to stitch with.
• Using the tail, do some straight stitch through the center chain, giving a center vein to your leaf.  You could also do this in another shade of green to fancy it up a bit.
