Leaves Fall Decor
Knitted leaves can be amazing for your fall decor.
You can spread them around your furniture.
Place them strategically on your bookcase, tables, and desk.

Moreover, if the size permits, you can use them as coasters.
Plus, they can be perfect table set placeholders for your Thanksgiving table.
You can also surround your knitted pumpkins or even make a cute garland to hang.
Knits With A Leaf Design

Like decor items, coasters, dishcloths, blankets, pillows, and more.
But also garments and accessories like sweaters, scarves, shawls, fingerless gloves, socks, etc.
You can find many leaf lace motifs.
