The Moogly Crochet Alphabet

Posted on March 15, 2013 by Tamara Kelly

The Moogly Crochet Alphabet has been a labor of love! So many letters, some easy, some a challenge, but all fun! These applique letters are great for the Perfect Party Pennant Garland, but they have unlimited uses. Monogram a blanket, make toy blocks, make puffy letters for beginning readers, decorate a child’s bedroom – you name it!

The specific yarn weight and hook size doesn’t really matter for these, as long as you use a hook size a couple sizes smaller than you normally would for that yarn. The bigger you go, the bigger the letters! Use thread and a steel hook for tiny crochet alphabet! These letters, made using the hook and yarn listed, were about 3 1/2″ tall. Leave long tails at either end if you plan on sewing these to another piece of fabric!

One recommendation: When planning a project, use the Print Friendly button at the bottom of the pattern. This will allow you to delete the letters you are not interested in and only print out the patterns for the letters you want to use! Just remember, if you are in need of a W or Z, you’ll need to include the instructions for M or N. I hope you enjoy The Moogly Crochet Alphabet and are able to use it to add a personalized touch to some of your projects!

How did you know this was just what I’ve been looking for? You always seem to read my mind. Have a new grand-baby on the way and I wanted to use initials on a couple of hats and blankets. THANKS a million!

    Hi Ms. Kelly! I have a question regarding the Letter “A”
    
    Row 4: Sc in the back hump of the 2nd ch from hook, sc in remaining 2 ch. Sc2tog, working into the same st as the last sc of Row 3 and the next unworked st (sts #5 and 6 of that side of the A.). Turn. (4 sts)
    
    What does the “Sc2tog, working into the same st as the last sc of Row 3 and the next unworked st (sts #5 and 6 of that side of the A.).” mean?
    
    Hope you reply ASAP! Thank you.

      Hi Shana! Sc2tog is single crochet two together – it’s a decrease stitch. Insert the hook into the same st as you made the last st of Row 3 in (on the right side “upright” of the A), yo and pull up a loop. Then insert the hook into the next stitch on the right side of the A (left unworked in Row 3), yo and pull up another loop. You now have 3 loops on the hook. Yo again and pull through all 3 loops on the hook.

Thank you for posting your Moogly Alphabet, I’ve been looking for a way to personalize my Teacher Husbands classroom with banners and these letters will be perfect for that. He teaches Algebra and Pre-Algebra which I will now crochet to put up on his walls. Thank you so much.

ok i need some help. do i crochet the ‘f’ like the ‘e’ ? i am trying to place the correct letter next to the instructions and i seem to be off a few letters.
thank you for sharing your talents

- Tamara Kelly on March 17, 2013 at 12:28 pm said:
  
  Hi Dianna! The instructions for each letter are beneath the photo for that letter. Yes, the F is just like the E, except without that last “arm.”

  - Dianna on March 19, 2013 at 12:58 pm said:
    
    thank you. but the way my printer printed up the letters are not near the instructions that is why i am a bit flustered over which is which.

      Ah, gotcha! That does sound super confusing! Did you use the Print Friendly button at the bottom?

        yes but when printer started printing i saw the craziness and didn’t want ink wasted so i kept going.
        can you help me where to connect each ?
      - Tamara Kelly on March 20, 2013 at 11:08 am said:
        
        Yikes, sorry about that, it should have stayed lined up! All I can recommend is comparing the printed version to the online version and marking each set of instructions as it’s letter. They are at least in order I hope?
      - Tamara Kelly on March 20, 2013 at 11:09 am said:
        
        Ok, I just took a look at what the Print Friendly does to this pattern – what a mess! I’ll add text labels so that will help with future printings. I had no idea it would rearrange it all like that!
      - Dianna on March 20, 2013 at 2:08 pm said:
        
        thanks. i will check your pattern site again

i seem to be having trouble with the ‘a’ the end of row three and row four is not working out for me is any one else having trouble or is it just me missing something

- Tamara Kelly on March 17, 2013 at 12:32 pm said:
  
  Hi kristen! The A is one of the trickier letters. The chain at the end of Row 3 are the start of the cross-bar of the A, and Row 4 is working back across those chains, and anchoring it back on the side, before working back onto the cross bar. Does that help at all?

  - Giuseppe Lucarelli on March 17, 2013 at 5:29 pm said:
    
    Hi, I am getting stuck at this point too. Not getting when/where to anchor back to the other side. Is there a step missing?
    
    Reply ↓
    - Tamara Kelly on March 17, 2013 at 7:23 pm said:
      
      Let me see if I can help. Ok, so you’ve got the left upright side of the A and the right upright side, and the cross bar that connects them horizontally. Now, when you read Row 3, it says
      
      Ch 1, sc in the first 11 sts. Sc2tog over next 3 sts, skipping the center st. Sc in the next 4 sts, leaving remaining sts unworked. Ch 4, turn. (16 sc, 4 ch)
      
      So, you sc up the left side (Ch 1, sc in the first 11 sts.), made the sc2tog that creates the top point between the sides (Sc2tog over next 3 sts, skipping the center st.), and start working down the right side, but stop after 4 sc (Sc in the next 4 sts, leaving remaining sts unworked.). Then you chain 4, which will be “pointing toward” the left side of the A (Ch 4, turn).
      
      Now, we move to Row 4:
      
      Sc in the 2nd ch from hook, sc in remaining 2 ch. Sc2tog, working into the same st as the last sc of Row 3 and the next unworked st. Turn. (4 sts)
      
      Working back into the ch 4 you just made, skip the ch closest to the hook and sc in the next ch, as well as the other 2 ch (Sc in the 2nd ch from hook, sc in remaining 2 ch.). Then: insert the hook into the same stitch as the last sc made in Row 3 (the 4th sc on the right side of the A), and pull up a loop. Insert your hook again into the very next st on the left side of the A (the first unworked stitch left over from Row 3, what would’ve been the 5th st of that side), and pull up another loop. Yarn over and pull through. This completes the sc2tog (Sc2tog, working into the same st as the last sc of Row 3 and the next unworked st.).
      
      Now for Row 5:
      
      Sc in the next 4 sts (the sc2tog and the 3 sc from for 4). Turn. (4 sts)
      
      Without chaining, sc in the top of the sc2tog that you just made, and the 3 sc sts of the cross bar. This gives you 4 sc sts.
      
      So for Row 6:
      
      Ch 1, 2 sc in the 1st st, sc in the next 3 sts. Sc2tog, working into the last st of the last sc2tog and the next unworked st. Sc in the remaining 4 unworked sts from Row 2. (10 sts) Break yarn and finish off.
      
      Chain 1 and work 2 sc sts in the first st (still working into the cross bar). Sc in the other 3 sts of the cross bar (includes the st worked into the top of the sc2tog). These are the last stitches worked on the cross bar. Now you’re going to make another sc2tog like you did in Row 4 – first insert the hook in the same stitch that you used for the second half of the previous sc2tog (the 5th st of the right side of the A). Yo, pull up a loop, and insert the hook into the next (unworked) st on the right side of the A (what would’ve been the 6th st of Row 3 if you hadn’t made the cross bar), yo, and pull up a second loo. Yo and pull through again to complete the sc2tog. At this point there should be 4 remaining sts on the right upright of the A, so sc in each of those and you’re done.
      
      I hope this helps! Let me know if you’re still having trouble!

Thank you for the letters! Sweet! I was also having trouble with the A….I did it like 4 times and finally gave up but I couldn’t five up forever. Because my whole family has an A in every name lol. I did the steps just like it said but for some reason I was missing the part where you would anchor or tie into the other bar. I finally just worked something out. My S looks great!!! My M is a little weird but I think that was just my stitching. I tried the B and had to give up last night but I’m going to try again tonight. I love your site and have shared it with friends. When I need a pattern for something I always come here first and see if you have it. Thanks again for all you do!!!!

  Some of the letters are rather tricky, I’ll admit! And blocking helps a LOT – little things like this always want to be kind of wonky. With any luck I’ll have a video on blocking them up very soon!

Wow! I can’t wait to get these done. I’m going to give them as gifts for first birthdays!

I’m having a hard time with row 12 on the “B” though. Can anyone help me out? I’m just not understanding.

Reply ↓
- Tamara Kelly on March 20, 2013 at 7:40 am said:
  
  Hi Liz! I’m sorry you’re having trouble! Row 12 is made working into the outside curve of the upper curve of the B – into the edges of the rows. So Rows 1-11 make the straight upright line and the top curve. For Row 12, you slip stitch along the bottom outside edge of the top curve, then chain 1 and work a sc, hdc, and dc into the edge as well. The exact placement of the sts doesn’t matter so much as that they’re about “stitch width” apart. This starts the bottom curve of the B.
  
  Does that help?
