For this leaf there is minimal shaping. You will crochet on both sides of the starting chain.
I include a photo tutorial in the pattern below to help you.
I worked up a pumpkin stem, this leaf pattern and a vine, made from a single crochet curlicue to use with my crochet pumpkin hat pattern.
Keeping the pieces small was important to me. So it adds a touch of cuteness, without getting in the way!
