It's so appreciated! **If you are having issues with your st count while doing the 12 sc up the stem. Make sure you're crocheting in the second st from your chain 1-turn. If you try crocheting back into the ch 1 space you just created, your stitch count will be off at the end of your stem and you'll end up with 2 sts instead of one st for the 12th sc. Have had a few subscribers mention this and it's hard to see in the video, so wanted to add an addendum if you're having any problems with your leaf.
