Crochet appliques-small crochet projects
Probably each of you has crocheted or attempted to crochet an applique once in your crochet journey.
And why not?
They are small, easy to make, and require a small amount of yarn. Another bonus is that they are portable.
What to do with crochet appliques?
There are endless possibilities to use a crochet applique. You can attach them to crochet hats, headbands, blankets, and bags.
Some of my first crochet blanket patterns are based on crochet appliques. For example, I crocheted a few jungle animal appliques and turned them into a themed Safari blanket. Cool right?
Or you can use them as embellishments for crochet toys as we did. We used the mini butterfly applique in our crochet Butterfly gnome.

It says there’s 2 sizes, mini and small but I’m only finding the small size?
Hello, Apryl,
The post will be updated. I just forgot to take pictures for the bigger butterfly. I will try to update it in a few days.
The post title says “in two sizes”, but there are only directions for the small size. Will the post be updated, either with the title or the pattern? (otherwise, thank you for the pattern!)
Hello, Catlady
The post will be updated. I forgot that I used mini butterfly, but have written the pattern for the big as well. Just need to take a few pictures and will update the post.
