    Thank you for this beautiful pattern and providing the video. The video helped me a lot and I really enjoyed making a leaf. I just noticed a few things in the written instructions, though.
    Row 8 says “ch1 and turn” at the end but it is not necessary (according to your video) because there is ch5 and turn in Row 9
    From 11 to 17, it says “sk first sc (single crochet)” but I think it is “sk first st (stich)” because the fisrt stitch to skip is the sl st (slip stitch) from the previous row.
    Row 17, it seems that in your video, you didn’t sl st in the back loop of next sc on main leaf. Instead, you just sc 12 on back loops of main leaf. However, for the second leaf side, you did sl st in the back loop of sc on main leaf.
    Row 3 to Row 8, it says “precious” instead of “previous” 🙂

    Are you aware that six out of seven instances, you’ve copied & pasted “precious” instead of “previous”?

    And yes, Kay A. is correct in that the pattern should read “skip first st” instead of “sc” which of course means single crochet.
