Add fun to clothes and accessories

Crochet applique is the quickest and easiest way to spruce up kids’ clothes and accessories, so be sure to check out our collection. Here you will find the best free crochet patterns for animal applique. No matter if you are a beginner or an experienced crocheter, you’ll be able to make these little handmade pieces in no time.

Add a little something

A simple baby blanket can be cute, but it will be much more adorable if you add animal applique to it. Sew on a funny teddy bear, cat, dog, or elephant, and see how the blanket comes to life. Of course, you don’t have to confine yourself to real-life creatures – there are unicorns and dragons, too!

Similarly, there’s so much more you can adorn with appliques than blankets. I’m thinking of clothes, hats, booties, but also home decor – crochet pillows, baskets, and bags. You can also combine animal appliques with amigurumi to make unique doll clothes.

Use up the scrap yarn!

Crocheting little items like animal applique is a perfect way to use up any leftover yarn ends. That’s because appliques use up very little yarn in general, but also because they often are colorful. Many colors mean many skeins of yarn, so it’s rather clever to use up any materials you already have left after completing past projects.

The best for beginners

Have fun creating animal appliques because they work up fast and require very little yarn. Play with simple shapes and create your own flat designs!
