This is the pattern for a digger appliqué. I do have this pattern available for free on my website if you would prefer that option. The link is down below, but I’ve made it available for people to download as well for $1 on Ravelry.

There is also a video tutorial for the pattern available on my YouTube channel at Crochet Digger Tutorial.

I’ve used 8 ply cotton and a 2.5mm crochet hook but you can use different sizes depending on what you’re most comfortable with.

• A main colour and black and grey crochet cotton or wool, I used 8 ply wool, which is light worsted in the US and double knit in the UK.

• A crochet hook, I used a 2.5mm hook.

• Scissors.

• Sewing needle.

• Darning needle to weave in ends.

• Sewing thread to stitch the digger together.

• Grey cotton to embroider a dot on the joiners if desired.
