How to Crochet: Birds, Fish, and Waves

Hi Crochet Friend!

It’s day 4 of the Creation Quiet Book CAL! I originally had about 6 appliqués to give you, but I decided that it just a bit too much. So I will be extending the CAL just one day to give everyone a bit more time. :)

So today, we will focus on making 2 birds, 2 fish, and some waves. And I have videos for the birds and fish to make it easier for you!

Pin this pattern to Pinterest!
