Materials Needed

Yarn: 100% Cotton Yarn (Dune or similar). Colors: Green (Stem and Leaves) and Purple (Grapes - variegated looks best).
Hook: 3.5 mm crochet hook.
Tools: Tapestry needle for assembly and scissors.

Part 1: The Green Stem and Base

Stem: With green yarn, chain 9.
Row 1: Double crochet (dc) in the 4th chain from the hook and in each remaining chain. (Stem complete).
Base Ring: Chain 6. Slip stitch (sl st) into the base of the last dc to form a small ring at the end of the stem.
Base Mesh: * Ch 3 (counts as dc), then Ch 5 (space).
- Work 1 dc inside the ring.
- Ch 5, 1 dc in ring. Repeat from * until you have 8 spaces (9 dc total including the turning chain).
Fasten off green yarn.

Part 2: The Grape Bunch (Popcorn Stitches)

Switch to Purple yarn. The grapes are worked in rows, decreasing by one grape per row to form a triangle.

Row 1 (8 Grapes):

Attach purple yarn to the 3rd chain of the first green space.
First Grape: Ch 3 (counts as dc). Work 5 dc in the first green space.
Form Popcorn: Turn work, sl st into the top of the ch-3. Turn back to front.
Ch 2, work 6 dc in the next space, turn, sl st into the first dc of the group, turn back.
Repeat across all 8 green spaces. You should have 8 grapes.

Row 2 (7 Grapes) and Beyond:

Turn work. sl st across into the first ch-2 space between grapes.
Decrease Rows: In each ch-2 space, work a grape using 5 dc (instead of 6).
Continue this logic: Row 3 (6 grapes), Row 4 (5 grapes)... until you finish Row 8 with only 1 grape at the tip.
Fasten off and weave in ends.

Part 3: The Embossed Leaves (Make 2)

The leaves use a "staircase" decrease and relief stitches.

Foundation: With green yarn, chain 12.
Row 1: Skip 2 ch, single crochet (sc) in each chain to the end.
Turning the Corner: Ch 2, 1 sc in the same last chain. Work sc back along the opposite side of the foundation chain, but stop 2 stitches before the end (9 sc total).
Row 2 (Relief/Ribbing): Ch 1, turn. Work sc in the Front Loop Only (FLO).
- Note: When you reach the ch-2 tip, work (1 sc, ch 2, 1 sc) inside the space.
- Work sc (FLO) down the other side, stopping 2 stitches before the end.
Rows 3–6: Repeat the process, alternating between Back Loop Only (BLO) and Front Loop Only (FLO) to keep the ribbing on the same side. Always leave 2 stitches unworked at the ends of the row to create the "staircase" leaf shape.
Fasten off with a long tail.

Part 4: Final Assembly

Thread the green tail through a tapestry needle.
Position the two leaves at the top of the grape bunch, just below the stem.
Stitch the base of the leaves firmly to the first row of grapes and the stem base.
Secure with a knot on the back and cut excess thread.
