Newly Updated for 2026 and Beyond
I originally designed this set of letters in 2014, specifically to mix and match with the Moogly Crochet Uppercase Alphabet! While updating the Uppercase letters, I decided it made sense to do the Lowercase ones too! I hired Lindsey Stephens to professionally tech edit all 26 lowercase letters and to create stitch diagrams for each one. I've completely rewritten and formatted this post, and created an ad-free PDF. In that PDF, each letter gets its own page, so you can print just what you need!
So now, I feel confident that this lowercase alphabet is also the best it can be - and ready to head into the future, and help you say whatever you want to say!

How to Use These Crochet Lowercase Letters
These crochet lowercase letters are made as individual appliques, making them easy to use for nearly any project you can imagine. Since each letter is crocheted separately, you can arrange and rearrange them to create whatever you like. One of my favorite tricks is to use stitch markers or pins to hold the letters in place first, so you can adjust spacing, double-check spelling, and make sure everything lines up neatly before sewing.
When it’s time to attach your crochet alphabet letters, you’ve got several easy options. A simple whip stitch with a yarn needle works great for adding letters to any fabric, while a backstitch can give extra durability for pieces that will see lots of use. If you’re using the letters for craft projects, fabric glue, fusible webbing, or even hook-and-loop fasteners can work well too, especially for banners, classroom decor, or interactive displays.
And these little crochet letters aren’t limited to applique projects! They’re also wonderful for hands-on learning for beginning readers. Add magnets to the backs for a fun fridge activity, or use them as lightweight embellishments for party decor, scrapbook pages, and more!
Sizing and Customizing Your Crochet Letters
Another great thing about these crochet lowercase letters is how adaptable they are. By simply changing your yarn weight or hook size, you can make the letters larger, smaller, thicker, or more delicate to suit your project. That flexibility makes this crochet alphabet perfect for everything from tiny embellishments on baby items to bold statement lettering for pillows, banners, and home decor.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can beginners make these crochet letters?
Yes, these lowercase letters are designed to be beginner-friendly and use basic stitches in an easy appliqué style.
What yarn works best for crochet letters?
For the clearest stitch definition, a smoother yarn will give you crisper edges, while a softer or fluffier yarn will create a more textured, decorative look. If you are attaching the letters to a blanket or garment, make sure that the fibers are all compatible for washing and drying!
Do I need to block the letters?
Blocking is optional, but it can help even out edges and make your finished letters lie flatter, especially for display pieces. I like to use spray starch on cotton letters to help them hold their shape!

Lucretia says
What size is the letters? Hight?
Tamara Kelly says
They are proportionate with the Uppercase letters. A lot depends on gauge, hook, and yarn, but the uppercase letters are approx about 3 ½" tall with the yarn and hook shown.

Donna says
Hello I like the The Moogly Crochet Alphabet but I was wondering if you can please do a Diagram on the Small Letter m so I can see where to join it at please. I did a small letter m but it did not turn out that good , I think I should had went down some more on the side. You have a big Letter M diagram , we just need a little m diagram and for it to say join here . Please and Thank you Donna 🙂
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Donna! You'd join at about Row 7 of the "n" - does that help?
kristine says
I was making the "s" and I dont know if I did something wrong or your pattern is goofy but I made a "c" using your "s" pattern...
Tamara Kelly says
It sounds like you missed one of the sc 3 rows in the middle. That can make all the difference!
niru says
hi
i would like to thank you so much for these!
a friend of mine has a 3 year old boy. (and she's pregnant with twins too!!)
i made the numbers and lower case letters for the boy.
they turned out great and i hope she would love them too.
i did have a question while i was on letter 'e' (lower case).
after i did the sc-4, i did not know where to sew the end of the cross bar. i was also unsure if the sc-4 was the cross bar indeed.
i however did it..but i thought i could do it if you gave me some clarification.
thanks
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Niru! Sewing on the crossbar is just by eye, so that it looks like an "e" 🙂
niru says
oh..ok.
thanku so much tamara 🙂
i wanted to say again, i'm so in love with your work.
Tamara Kelly says
Thank you Niru!
angeline says
HOW DO YOU JOIN AND SC 3 FOR 3 ROWS IN LETTER T? OR DO YOU DO IT SEPARATELY THEN SEW IT TOGETHER? LIKE CHAIN 3 THEN 3 SC?? OR WAT? 🙂 THANKS FOR THE AWESOME PATTERNS BTW:)
I DONT KNOW HOW TO DO A SC WHEN THE YARN IS NOT CONNECTED 🙂
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Angeline! If you look at the photo, you can see the crossbars worked right onto the vertical portion - you just sc right into the vertical bar where you want the crossbar to be. No chaining needed. 🙂
Angeline says
what do you mean sc right into the vertical bar? 🙂 how can i do that without a starting loop? since the yarn is cut already? 🙂 im sorry hehe 🙂
Tamara Kelly says
There are a couple of different methods, but the most basic is to slip stitch into the stitch you want to join to. 🙂
Angeline says
Hi im sorry but i really dont get what you mean by sc 3 across for 3 rows huhu 🙁
Tamara Kelly says
Sorry Angeline! This means that you make 3 rows of 3 sc each. So sc 3, turn, and then do that twice more. 🙂
Angeline says
so does that mean i have to do the 3 rows of 3 sc separately before joining it with the vertical part of the t? 🙂
Tamara Kelly says
No, you work the first row right onto the side of the vertical part of the t. 🙂
davida willmann says
CAN THE LETTERS AND NUMBERS BE MADE LARGE ENOUGH SO THAT MAGNETS CAN BE GLUED AND POSSIBLE CONNECTED IN THE PATTERN. MAGNETS THAT ARE GLUED HAVE THE POTENTIAL OF FALLING OFF SO IT WOULD LIMIT THE MINIMUM AGE.
Tamara Kelly says
With worsted weight yarn they are about 3" high, so if you want them bigger, bulky yarn would be a great choice! 🙂
Tara Pierce says
You could make 2 letters and put the magnet between them & stitch them together
Tamara Kelly says
Great idea!
Katie says
I am making a baby blankets and want to put their names on it. I have successfully made the capital A for one and the capital I for the other. I've also successfully made the lowercase a but I made the lowercase s and it's the same size as the I instead of the a. I tried using a smaller hook but the height was the same still.
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Katie! I'm not sure why that is the case, you may be able to sew it so that lays smaller.
Chas Lanee says
This may seem like a really basic question, but how would one apply these to a blanket. I'm working up the Loopy Love Blanket (https://www.mooglyblog.com/loopy-love-blanket/) in a solid color with a boucle yarn and I'd like to add the baby's name to one corner. I want it to look good from both sides without having to add a backing to the blanket. Would I just slip stitch around the outside of each letter onto the blanket as best I can?? I'm not at total novice to crochet, but also not that experienced. Thank you so much!!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Chas!
The Loopy Love Blanket is a tricky one, as it's kinda lacy and open. For that one in particular, I might recommend doing two of each letter, and sandwiching the blanket between them, then sewing the letters together. Generally speaking though, I would recommend sewing them on with a needle, going through just the strands of yarn on the side you are sewing too. It's fiddly, but the best method I know.

Hi. I love the alphabet patterns that you made but is it possible to downsize the letters? I'm having a hard time adjusting it. Can you help me? Thank you!
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Daisy! The best way to downsize them is a smaller hook and thinner yarn. Otherwise it's a new font and new designs!
Carol Stroud says
It has been such fun making these letters, and more so that you have shared for free. I'm new to crochet. Learning from you tube. Thanks so much
Tamara Kelly says
Thank you so much, Carol! I'm so glad you're learning to crochet!

I am having issues....I followed the directions for the "e" and I think I read something wrong or just am missing something. It just isn't coming together properly. It looks like a c with a string of 4 sc dangling from the bottoming of the top of the c....if that makes sense.Did I do it wrong, or am I just not seeing it?
Tamara Kelly says
Did you Sew end of 4-sc crossbar in place?
Shoalbear says
That's where I am confused. No matter how I try, it doesn't look like an e is forming. This is the only letter I am having issues with, so I know it's just me! LOL
Jessica says
I was just wondering if there are diagrams for the lower case alphabet, numbers and punctuations
Tamara Kelly says
Not at this time, it's a long term project. 🙂
Diane says

Tamara Kelly says

Jessica says
Ok I was just wondering because I'm a little confused about the fsc in the lower case "q"
Tamara Kelly says
I'm happy to answer any questions that I can! 🙂
Anna Smith says
I’m crocheting a name on an Easter basket. The problem is making the lower case b. It didn’t turn out right. I did it 2 times. Thank you
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Anna! I'd be happy to try to help, if you can tell me where you're having trouble?
Michelle says
Hi Tamara, I just found out your website and I love your lowercase ‘e’. However, I have a few questions regarding row 4-14 we repeat row 2-3 please if you can help me (‘:
1. Are we doing 3 sts each row for row 4-14?
2. Are we doing the chain for each row?
I’m sorry if the questions sound silly, the reason why I’m asking you it’s because instead of being curvy the right way, since row 4 my ‘e’ is curving to other way ): thanks in advance!
Michelle
Tamara Kelly says
Hi Michelle! ♥
1. yes
2. yes
make sure for row 4 you are repeating row 2! all even numbered rows here start with the tall st (dc) and odd numbered rows start with the short st (sc)
