Can Beginners Crochet This Tiger Appliqué?
This crochet tiger applique pattern is a suitable project for anyone familiar with fundamental crochet techniques. The stitches you should know include chain, single crochet, double crochet, half double crochet, magic ring, increase, and invisible decrease.
The tiger is worked in separate pieces and then sewn together. The pattern also features small design details that might require some patience for those with little experience.
What Yarn Should I Use to Make This Crochet Appliqué?
These cute crochet tiger appliqués can be made with a 3.5 mm hook and aran yarn.
The designer recommends using Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Cotton! or Rico Design Creative Cotton, but any other medium-weight cotton yarn will work great too. The amount of yarn needed for this project is so small that the tiger can be made from just scraps of yarn.
How Big Is the Finished Appliqué?
A tiger appliqué made with medium-weight yarn is about the size of the palm of your hand. This makes it perfect as a blanket embellishment or even a hanging decoration. You can easily modify its size by using different supplies. To make your tiger smaller, try crocheting it with fingering yarn and a smaller hook.
