    The Moogly Crochet Punctuation Set

    Published: Jan 16, 2015 · Modified: Dec 12, 2016 by Tamara Kelly · 29 Comments

    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.

    I've tried to list the symbols in a somewhat logical order, but remember that many symbols do multiple jobs, so be sure to read through the list carefully to find the patterns you need!

      I think many of your followers live in European countries which use the Euro (€) as currency and have no affinity with the dollar. Would it be possible to make a Eurosign too?

      Thank you for this lovely addition to the alphabets! Can't wait to make a complete set for my classroom! Would it be possible to create a pattern for the cent sign (I usually reach cents before dollars). Thanks!!

        Thank you Erica! For Cents, I would use the C from the lowercase alphabet and add the line as in the dollar sign. 😀

      I love your addition of punctuation marks. While it would likely be a pain to do, I think the set would be improved by the addition of my favorite punctuation... the interrobang ‽

      No matter what I do, I am unable to get the pound/hashtag symbol right. Is this pattern correct? It always turns out wrong! I have spent nearly 2 hours making them and they never look right at all. 🙁

      Row 7: Ch 1, sc 2, ch 2, sc 2 in opposite side of “c”; turn. (4 sts, 2 ch)

      I'm really confused as to where "the opposite side of "c" is for the @ symbol. I can't figure out where those 2 sc are supposed to go. I get up to the ch 2 and am lost as to if it means to "turn" or where those stitches go in. Please help. Thank you much.

        Hi Chelsea! It would be the other "end." Okay, imagine that rather than a c, it's a U - you are jumping from one top point across to the other. Does that help?

      Then to say they are English and want the British Currency -they could have said ALL currency or made their darn own! When we have countries doing bad things to ours-ugh OK but you are an amazing designer and I not only love your patterns but all your hard work you do on tutorials!
