Baby Stroller Appliqué Crochet Pattern

This is a perfect project to add to a gift for someone who’s just had a baby. You can send a congratulations card for the arrival of the baby and add this cute appliqué to give it some texture (optional template card provided in blog post). Or add this appliqué to a baby onesie or blanket perhaps.

You can choose the color combination you like to fit a baby boy or girl.

Materials Needed

Some DK cotton yarn in 2 colors of choice. I used Ricorumi DK, 100% cotton in pink (Color A) and white (Color B)
Crochet hook that fits your yarn. For this project I used a 3 mm hook.
A tapestry needle
A pair of scissors

Abbreviations Used in Pattern

mc = magic circle (optional alternative also suggested)
ch = chain
sc = single crochet
sc2tog = single crochet decrease
2 sc in same st = single crochet increase
sl st = slip stitch
fo = fasten off

Skill Level

Advanced Beginner - (knowledge of how to crochet a Magic Circle or alternative - please see options in instructions below).

Measurements/Size

This appliqué is 2.7 inches (7 cm) wide and 2.5 inches (6.5 cm) high.

Yardage

Approx. 7.6 yards (7 m) in total (both colors).

Gauge

Gauge = 12 sc and 10 rows with a 3 mm crochet hook = 2” (5 cm).
Gauge is not really that crucial for this project. If you wish to have a smaller appliqué, you can go down to a 2.5 mm hook. And if you’d like a larger one, then you could go up half or a whole number/letter hook size (suggestion: between letters C & D hooks).

Notes
You can use any type of cotton or bamboo yarn as long as you have a corresponding crochet hook size (check yarn label for recommendations).

If you don’t know how to crochet a Magic Circle for the wheels, you can either try to figure it out with these video tutorials, or you could just crochet 2 chains (ch) and crochet the 6 sc into the first ch.

Numbers at the end of each step (in brackets) indicate the number of final stitches in that step.

Ch 1 at the beginning of a row does not count as a stitch.

When turning your work, make sure you always turn in the same direction.
