This applique is 8 inches tall. You could always adjust the length by making longer ropes and not overlapping the penguins heads onto the balloon like I did.

This is an applique crochet pdf pattern to personalize your baby blankets, pillows , bags… etc have fun with it :) and the colour choices are endless for the hot air balloon.

This would make a great stash buster as well, as you only need small amounts of yarn to complete your project.

This is the list of supplies that I used to make this:
red heart with wool: lapis (blue) small amount
red heart with wool: gumdrop - small amount
red heart soft touch: black - small amount
vanna’s choice: mustard - small amount
impeccable loops and thread : soft taupe - small amount
6 mm safety eyes (2 pairs)
4 mm hook
tapestry needle
stitch marker

These are the stitches that are used: sc, hdc, MR, increase , decrease and BLO. You should already have knowledge of working in the round and sewing (as you will need to sew the little pieces together)

You could always increase or decrease the size of the applique, depending on the yarn and hook that you choose to use :)

This pattern is 10 pages long and contains detailed instructions and photos to help you along the way. I am always available by email if you should have any questions :)

This pattern is written using standard US crochet terms

The usual copyright conditions apply :) and yes you can sell your finished products :)

Thanks for stopping by and happy hooking :)
