Oak Leaf Crochet Pattern

Oak Leaf Crochet Pattern

A few weeks ago, I showed you this autumn garland I had just made.  When I got the idea, I searched around and just couldn't find an oak leaf pattern that I liked.  So I made up my own.  I've never written a crochet pattern before, and I would so love it if you crocheters out there would pull out your hooks and try this pattern out to see if it makes sense.  And give me feedback of course about the parts that are confusing or just plain wrong.  I used size 10 pearl cotton and a USA size 7 steel hook.  When I get the acorn pattern worked out just right, I'll post it as well.
