Last week I shared my pattern for the Day at the Beach Bag - and while it's a finished project all in itself, I can't help but thing how fun it would be to add an applique! Something fishy or sea-faring... maybe you have something you'd like to add an applique to too! So for all of us, here are 10 free ocean applique crochet patterns!

HI! I'm in the group Crochet With Us, and I mentioned a week or two ago that it seems like EVERY pattern I look for I can find on Moogly! AND I've been saving all the cute ones you've been posting lately. I've been meaning to find a way to tell you personally that you are by far my favorite and in my opinion the very best designer out here! Thank you for all your patterns! Have a great week!
Tamara Kelly
😀 Thank you so much Stacie! That means a lot to me, that you'd take the time to say so like this. <3

Ha-Ha to #9 :). #s 1, 3, & 7 look like they might do well on a couple of projects I have going 🙂

Linda Sessoms
I love this seahorse pattern, but I can't figure out her diagram! Tamara would you please write it down or do a video, so those of us who are "diagram challenged" could crochet this cute little critter? It really is the best one on the web!
Tamara Kelly
I'm sorry, I can't do that as it would be copyright infringement! You could contact the designer though!
Linda Sessoms
Of course, my apologies...I didn't think of that!
cassie cox

Tamara Kelly

Hi.. I really like the seahorse pattern but it says that the page I wanna view is no longer available. Do u think I still get the pattern for that?
Tamara Kelly
Hi Gen! The link still works for me! Perhaps it was only down temporarily?
