Moose

Crochet Moose Applique by Kerri's Crochet

What Is Being Made

This is a downloadable crochet pattern for creating a moose applique designed by Kerri's Crochet. The pattern produces a dimensional moose figure suitable for use as an applique on garments, blankets, or other crochet projects. The moose design is available in three finished size options, allowing crafters to customize the final dimensions based on their yarn weight and hook size choices.

Available Sizes

• Large Moose: 19cm wide x 18cm high (7.5" x 7") when made with 8 ply yarn and a 3mm crochet hook
• Medium Moose: 13cm wide x 12cm high (5.5" x 4.75") when made with 4 ply crochet cotton and a 1.5mm crochet hook
• Small Moose: 10cm wide x 9cm high (4.5" x 3.5") when made with 2 ply crochet cotton and a 1mm crochet hook

Crochet Techniques and Stitches Used

This intermediate-level crochet pattern employs fundamental crochet stitches to construct the moose applique. The stitches used include:

• Chain stitch (ch): The foundation stitch used to begin crochet work
• Slip stitch (sl st): Used to join rounds and create seamless transitions
• Double crochet (dc): A basic stitch that creates a tight, dense fabric
• Half treble crochet (htr): A medium-height stitch providing structure
• Treble crochet (tr): A taller stitch adding height and texture variation
• Double treble crochet (dtr): The tallest stitch used, creating extended elements

The pattern uses standard UK crochet terminology. Assembly involves stitching individual crocheted components together using a needle and thread to form the complete moose figure.

Materials Required

The pattern is flexible regarding yarn selection, accommodating multiple yarn weights to achieve different finished sizes:

• Yarn: Any thickness of crochet cotton or yarn works for this pattern. The designer used Scheepjes Maxi Sweet Treat 2 ply crochet cotton in three colors: (162) Black Coffee, (254) Moon Rock, and (110) Black
• Crochet hooks: Hook size varies by desired finished size—1mm hook for small moose, 1.5mm hook for medium moose, or 3mm hook for large moose
• Finishing supplies: A darning needle for weaving in yarn ends, scissors, thread and needle for stitching components together, and optionally a black bead for the moose's eye
