Crochet Peppermint Applique Pattern
Quick, cute and fun, this crochet peppermint will add instant festive cheer to all your holiday projects.
It’s Day 9 of the 12 Days of Crochet Christmas!
If you’re crocheting along and haven’t done so already, you’ll want to whip up an easy crochet gift tag to attach your applique to.
About the Pattern
This crochet peppermint is made up of 2 rounds – the white centre and the outer, colour stripe round.
In R2 we’ll be changing colours after every stitch. There’s no need to cut the yarn, simply drop it to the back and pick up the previous colour.
For a seamless finish we’ll use the invisible fasten off technique, joining to the stitch that is a different colour to the ending tail.
