Fall is the perfect time to cozy up with yarn and create something warm and beautiful – like this free maple leaf punch needle pattern from Marching North! Inspired by the colors of autumn, this design is ideal for wall hangings or decorative accents. The downloadable template includes both the leaf outline and its veins, giving you creative freedom to experiment with color combinations.
The tutorial uses the flat stitch side as the “right” side for a modern look, but you can flip it and use the loop side if you prefer a more traditional texture. There’s even a time-lapse video to guide you step by step (see below). Whether you stick with earthy fall tones or go bold with unexpected shades like neon pink or lime, this is a fun and rewarding project to kick off the season.
