Summer Crochet Applique Patterns
These summer crochet applique patterns will help you dress up all your projects for the sunshine season! Whether it’s sunglasses, a sunflower, or a beach ball, you’re sure to find an applique here to fit your summer theme!
I am always amazed at how a yarn and hook can be used to form a picture of almost anything! Need a heart? You can crochet one! A star? A gingerbread man? An Octopus?!! The possibilities are endless.
You can crochet all these items in 3-D (amigurumi) or you can create them as a flat, 2-D picture. In this second case, when the 2-D picture is a stand alone item (not a small part of a larger work) that can be used as an embellishment, we call it an applique.
What is an applique?
An applique is a piece of material that creates a picture and is placed on another material. An applique can be made from fabric, embroidery, punch needle, etc. In our case, our “material” is a 2-D picture made from crocheting with yarn.
The picture is then “applied” to another material, either by sewing or using some kind of adhesive.
What is a crochet applique used for?
There are so many ways to use your applique projects to embellish your other crochet work. You can add them to:
- Sweaters or other clothing items
- Bags and purses
- Hats and headbands
- Wall hangings
- Themed blankets
