Little bird applique free crochet pattern

Sharing is caring!

One of the things I love about Spring is the feeling of a fresh start. Flowers are blooming and new life is springing up all over.

It’s also a great time to dust off the cobwebs on your creativity and try something new. That’s why I’m so excited to introduce you to my newest little bird applique free crochet pattern!

It’s quick and easy and even those who are new to crocheting can master it in about 10-20 minutes.

If you’ve been considering starting to crochet, this little bird applique is the perfect place to start.

I designed it with an easy to follow pattern that uses small quantities of yarn. It’s a great piece to warm up your hook and learn the basics of crochet! If you’re a seasoned pro, this free crochet pattern will be a quick and easy project.

So, what can you do with this little bird applique? The possibilities are endless! Use it to decorate your purse for Spring or stitch it to your favorite hat.

Add a zipper pull to it and it can decorate your child’s coat or even your laptop bag! With a ribbon tied to the belly of the little bird, you can use it as a bookmark to save your page.

Need to add pizzazz to your Easter baskets? Whip up a couple of little birds, some tiny hearts, and an easy crochet butterfly to make the baskets stand out!

Best of all, like so many of my projects, the little bird applique free crochet pattern can be done with leftover yarn.

Cotton yarn is my yarn of choice for this project, but if you only have acrylic yarn, that will work too. Let your imagination run wild with color combinations and have a “tweet” time with your new free crochet pattern!
