Sweet Crochet Butterfly Applique – Free Patterns

Crochet Butterfly Applique is a great way to adorn any crocheted accessory or garment.

It instantly elevates it to another level of style! You need just a little bit of yarn and a little bit of time. You will easily create appliques like crochet flowers, animals, or butterflies.

There are usually no double crochet stitches needed. So, if you prefer to work with a single crochet stitch, you are in the right place.

Sew them onto a blanket, a bag, or a sunhat. Sprinkle them on the festive table or join them together to make a mobile or bunting.

Possibilities are endless because it’s an easy to make decoration! Use up leftover pieces of yarn for these projects and use up little colorful threads.
