Today, I’d like to drop here another quick and easy applique pattern. It is the crochet strawberry applique!
Recently, I have been creating quite a few crochet appliques, and I still have a couple more in mind!
What can I say? Crochet appliques are just fun, little, and quick to make. And they allow me to elegantly put off finishing all the other, huge half-done projects that have been lying around in my living for way too long!
How would you like to dip your strawberries in some dark chocolate?! For one of my squares for the Valentine’s Day collection, I created an easy chocolate dip pattern, which you can now find further below!
Or would you rather crochet a 3D strawberry? Or maybe turn your strawberry into a granny square?
