Hello again everyone! This weeks project is an American Flag applique! This applique can be put on everything from beanies to blankets and even onto shirts. This cutie measures in at 3x2 inches! The perfect size to be added to a beanie! If you would like a bigger size applique just simply use a bigger hook (although it may have looser stitching) or use a thicker yarn. You will love the ease of this project too! Let me know in the comments below what you will be attaching it to. I would also love to see finished photos! You can either add them as a project on ravelry, share them to my FB Page or Group (both are linked below) or use the hash tag #rachelslovelystitches on IG! I hope you enjoy making your flags as much as I loved making mine! Happy Crocheting!
