The Moogly Crochet Punctuation Set

Uppercase, lowercase, numbers… punctuation was the logical next step! I’ve tried to include all the major punctuation marks, including the math symbols! These are excellent appliques, and great in classrooms too. I hope you enjoy the Moogly Crochet Punctuation Set!

The Moogly Crochet Punctuation Set

Add this pattern to your Ravelry Queue and Favorites

• You can use any yarn and hook to make this pattern – of course, you should use the same yarn and hook as you use for the letters you’re making. For the punctuation shown here, I used a US-F, 3.75mm hook and worsted weight kitchen cotton.
