Recently, I have been creating quite a few coaster and appliques, and I have much more in mind!
Crochet appliqués are fun, small, and quick to make! They’re perfect for adding extra details to projects that might look a little plain. Use them on baby blankets, cardigan pockets, or even stitch them onto a curtain for a cute touch!
Ad-Free PDF Pattern
Do you hate ads, but love crochet patterns and supporting small online businesses? You can find the PDF pattern to this applique when you join my Facebook Subscriber group on Patreon.
I hate to say this, but it needs to be said. Although this pattern is free on my blog, it’s not free to screenshot and share on any form of social media or messaging platforms, including WhatsApp groups. The ads on my website help make up for the income I lose by not selling the pattern. When you screenshot or convert my blog post into PDF files, you’re ripping away part of that income for me.
Please, instead of sharing screenshots, share the direct link to my pattern.

Yarn I used:
To create this cute strawberry applique I used Kismet Yarns Raeesah 100% DK (Light worsted weight) cotton. I used colours red, white and lime green.
This appliqué doesn’t use much yarn, making it a great stash buster if you have some extra yarn lying around!
I used a 3mm crochet hook for this design, but you can use any yarn and your preferred hook size—just keep in mind that the size of your appliqué will vary.
