Sheep/Lamb Applique Crochet

 

Hi friends, welcome back to my blog. As Eid-Ul-Adha is near, I thought of making a simple sheep applique. A very very easy version. Beginner's friendly version in indeed. I enjoyed doing this crochet, as well I was running out of time too, as Eid was due in a week.

So let's jump in the project.

Crochet Terminology:

ch- chain

sc- single crochet

dc- double crochet

tr- treble crochet

hdc- half double crochet

slst- slip stitch

Hook: 3mm & 4mm

Written Pattern:

Step 1 : Magic ring, ch 1, followed by 12 HDCs in that ring.

Step 2 : Slst to the 1st stitch.

Step 3 : ch 2 ( considered as 1st HDC), 1 HDC in the same stitch. Keep doing 2 HDCs in the same stitch. Total 24 HDCs.

Step 4 : ch 2( considered as 1st HDC), do puff type stitch. Yarn over, pull thru, pull it little high. Then do 3 more times in the next stitch.
