This is a large 3D applique inspired by Derpy (the blue tiger) from KPop Demon Hunters. The applique was originally intended to be added to the back of a jacket or front of a sweatshirt (Like Zoey’s!).

This pattern uses a combination of cutout tapestry crochet and crochet in the round to create the 3D effect for the eyes.

This pattern has some challenging components including front/back post stiches, foundation single crochet stitches, and standing stitches, as well as some complicated design components and stitch placements. I recommend this pattern for seasoned crocheters or crocheters who are willing to watch lots of tutorials to master these stitches. No stitch tutorials are provided in this pattern!

Use a hook size that makes your single crochet stitches as close to square as possible.
