Free Popcorn Applique Crochet Pattern

Popcorn appliqué description

The free popcorn appliqué crochet pattern is perfect for movie night themes. I’m currently working on a granny square blanket for my daughters. I plan to fill each square with a different appliqué until I have a big blanket full of the things they love most! I’ve started the Sweet treats appliqué bundle.

The popcorn appliqué measures 10cm wide and 10cm tall. I used 3 different colors to crochet the popcorn appliqué. It features a classic striped box and textured popcorn. You can use your appliqué to decorate almost any of your crochet projects, I’d love to see what you’ve done with yours!

How to crochet a popcorn applique

The lollipop appliqué crochet pattern is easy skill level. You’ll need to know basic crochet stitches as well as the popcorn stitch. Additionally you’ll need to know how to work into front/back loops and the raw edge.

To make the lollipop appliqué I used 2 colors of DK (weight 3) yarn and a 3.5mm crochet hook. The whole appliqué uses just 8g (25yd) of yarn.
