Crochet Cloud Applique Pattern & Tutorial
Materials Needed:
- Yarn of your choice (Lightweight for smaller appliques or heavier for larger ones)
- Appropriate crochet hook size for your yarn
- Scissors
- Yarn needle
Pattern Instructions:
Start: Create a slip knot, then chain 9.
Row 1: Starting from the second chain from the hook, make 8 single crochets (sc). Turn your work.
Row 2: Make another 8 single crochets across.
Building the Cloud:
In the next stitch, make 5 double crochet (dc) stitches (this starts forming the cloud's fluffy parts).
For the next stitch, make 1 single crochet.
In the following stitch, make another 5 double crochet stitches.
Skip one stitch, then make a single crochet in the next stitch.
Again, skip one stitch, and in the next, make 5 double crochet stitches.
Make a single crochet in the next stitch.
In the next stitch, make 3 treble (or triple) crochet stitches (to add height to your cloud's puff).
Single crochet in the next stitch.
Skip one stitch, then make 5 treble crochet stitches in the next stitch (creating the last big puff of your cloud).
Skip one stitch, then finish off with a slip stitch into the next stitch to close the shape of your cloud.
Finishing: Cut the yarn, leaving a tail for weaving in ends. Secure your work with a final knot and weave in any loose ends using your yarn needle.
Yay, it’s done! You now have a cute crochet cloud applique perfect for embellishing bags, blankets, or garments. You can modify the size by changing your yarn and hook size or by adjusting the number of chains at the start.
