8. ch 5
   (creates first "window" slit in the monstera leaf)
   • Remove hook, loosely hold the loop.
   • Count 3 stitches back from current stitch, insert hook through that stitch, then pull the working loop through to attach the chain, forming a loop/slit.
9. ch 1.

Second Side of Leaf

Pattern Corrections & Tips

• Correction: Be sure to skip the correct number of base chains between each slit/leaf window for balance.
• Tip: Loosen your loop when removing the hook for slits, to avoid dropping stitches.
• Tip: Count your single crochets carefully when working along the second side to ensure symmetry.
• Tip: For a neater finish, block your leaves lightly.
