The Mountain Applique is perfect on the cover of the Adventure Travel Case - but it's also great to add to any project you like! Made with all single crochets (and a couple slip stitches), this simple but effective pattern makes a great embellishment - or secret pocket!

This free crochet mountain applique pattern is worked from the bottom up, with simple decreases and skipped stitches creating the craggy mountain shape.

I used an H hook and Red Heart Scrubby Smoothie to make this applique because that's what I was using for the project I was applying it to. You should use the hook and yarn that are appropriate for your project - just keep in mind, that may change the size.
