If you want to create something truly unique, there is an easy way to level up any project you are working on. Add cute applique! These little flat crochet pieces can be intricate and full of details or very simple. Today’s collection of Sweet and Easy Crochet Appliques is evidently full of ideas for you to try. Some of them, like crochet animals, are suitable for kids, but many – like a heart or flower – can be a lovely decoration of your own sunhat or bag. These flat pieces are a great way to practice crocheting because irregular shapes and changing colors will teach you a lot about stitch heights and tension. Once you get it, you will not stop making them! It’s an easy way to add something special to a gift. The links to free patterns are under the pictures.
