Free crochet pattern to make crochet laurel leaves and small flowers as part of the Winter Olympics crochet flower bouquet.
The laurel was added to the Olympic crochet bouquet for 2022 in their effort to be more green, and not use fresh flowers as traditionally used in the winning bouquets.
It’s inclusion and reference to the flower bouquet meaning Victory.
I have also created free crochet patterns for the other crochet flowers included in the Olympic bouquet
These laurel leaves can be crocheted with 2 different colours a lighter green for the stem and slightly darker leaf colour.
I found a picture online for laurel and liked it with the leaves and little flower blossom.
so I created the Laurel leaves and flowers to be the same, it seems the Olympic bouquet has more jagged edges on its leaves, you could add a round of picots if you wish.
For this pattern, I am referencing this picture of Laural leaves and flowers
