This elephant crochet pattern is just the next in a long line of appliques I’ve made.  Appliques are one of my favorite embellishments!  They use up leftover bits of yarn, can be used in a lot of different ways, and do not take a lot of effort!

They be sewn onto clothes as patches, added as a final embellishment to a blanket, or as coasters.  In the case of these cuties, I added them to my kid’s craft box, to be used for later rainy-day craft projects.

This elephant crochet applique ended up in the kid’s craft box.
