7 Monstera Crochet Patterns
Seven monstera projects, each linked to its designer’s own page: three wall hangings, a lace leaf set, a colorwork square, a coaster, and a bookmark. A tapestry needle is the one tool every version shares.
1. Boho Monstera Wall Hanging
Ashlea at Heart Hook Home includes four leaves in one pattern: a small solid leaf and leaves with two, three, and six fenestrations. Hook size sets the leaf size. Her small leaves use a G/4 mm hook, the medium ones an I/5.5 mm, and the largest uses two strands of I Love This Yarn on a 9 mm hook. The leaves hang from a 48-inch birch stick with twine, floral wire and tape, and wooden beads.

2. Irish Lace Monstera Leaves
Vytene at Hobbyist on the Road works three leaves in irregular Tunisian lace, an Irish crochet technique, using 100% mercerized cotton thread on a 1 mm hook (0.75 mm for the smallest leaf). You pin a printed drawing to a soft surface, crochet over it from the wrong side, then steam-block and embroider the veins in running stitch. She framed hers as a canvas, and notes the larger leaves could be coasters. This is fine thread work rather than a beginner project.

6. Intarsia Monstera Wall Hanging
Joanne Loh at Craft Passion charts a double monstera leaf in intarsia crochet, about 21 inches wide and 47 tall. It is mostly single crochet with chains and slip stitches, and the page covers preparing for intarsia, blocking, and finishing. It is worked in one color but any color will do, and it suits beginners ready to try colorwork.

Charlene at The Crochet Tea writes this stash-busting bookmark out in full on her page: 50 g of #3 crochet thread on a 3 mm hook, starting from a chain of 26 and building the leaf in six parts down each side, with a picot at the tip.

Frequently Asked Questions
How difficult is a monstera crochet pattern?
Most monstera leaf patterns sit between beginner and intermediate. The flat wall hanging version is doable for beginners who know double crochet and chains; versions with front post stitches, color changes, or 3D shaping are intermediate. Start with a simple flat leaf and work up from there.
What yarn is best for monstera leaf crochet?
Medium weight (worsted) cotton or a cotton blend in 2 to 3 greens works best. Cotton holds its shape for home decor and gives a smooth, slightly stiff fabric that mimics the waxy feel of a real leaf. For wall hangings, chunky cotton cord makes a bolder look.
How do I get my monstera leaf to lay flat?
Blocking is essential. After finishing your leaf, pin it to a blocking mat in the correct shape, stretching slightly if needed. Steam with an iron (hover, do not press) or spray with water and let dry completely. For extra stiffness, spray with fabric starch before blocking. This step transforms a ruffled, uneven leaf into a smooth, professional piece.
Can I sell monstera crochet items at craft fairs?
Yes, monstera wall hangings, pillows, coasters, and garlands do really well at craft fairs and online. They appeal to plant lovers and home decor fans alike. Just make sure you’re using your own pattern or one that allows commercial use, and price by materials plus a fair hourly rate.
