In Love with Apples Crochet Applique • RaffamusaDesigns

Hello, fellow crocheters. Today, I would like to share with you the free crochet pattern of my “In Love With Apples” applique.

This apple applique is one of those crochet projects that was born literally just for the heck of crocheting.

I didn’t really need an apple applique or anything. I just had the idea of it in my mind, plus I really needed a break from a big shawl.

This shawl that I just mentioned was practically finished. However, when I was almost at the end of my yarn cake, I realized that it was a perfect equilateral triangle! And I really hated it.

So, the shawl and its 5 days of work were completely frogged.

That’s why I really needed a quick & easy project just for the fun of crocheting.

And that’s how these crochet apple embellishments came to life!
