How to crochet leaf



I'm going to crochet a leaf today so will be posting a picture of it later. I mentioned the link below from where I got the instructions. Finally, just finished with my first crochet leaf. I think I need to do it one more time to perfect the shape. I used a blue yarn for trial.
Here's how to:

1 Using green yarn and 2.5mm hook ch18, turn
2 1sc into second ch from hook,1hlf dc into next ch,1dc into each of next 3 ch, 1dbl dc ( also know as a treble, yarn over hook twice before working off 2 loops at a time) into each of next 7 ch, 1dc into each of next 3ch,1hlf dc into next ch,1sc into last ch. 3ch turn
3 Working down the other side of the starting chain work,1sc into 1st ch, 1hlf dc, into next ch,1dc into each of next 3 ch, 1dbl dc into each of next 7 ch, 1dc into each of next 3ch,1hlf dc into next ch, 1 sc into next and sl st into the turning ch.
