The Moogly Crochet Currency Set

The Moogly uppercase, lowercase, numbers, the Greek alphabet, and punctuation have been a big hit, so the next step you asked for was currency symbols! The dollar sign was already available, but of course there are other major currencies out there, so I picked the top 3 (and included the dollar sign instructions here for your convenience!). These are excellent appliques, and great in classrooms too. I hope you enjoy the Moogly Crochet Currency Set!

• Lion Brand Kitchen Cotton (Aran; 100% cotton; 99 yds/91 m; 2.01 oz; Colorway: Tropic Breeze)
• Click HERE for Crochet Abbreviations and tutorials; in addition, the extending a row with foundation single crochet video is recommended
