A Pop of Sunshine: Meet The New Star Appliqué Pattern

---

I’ve been spending time with my hooks lately, finding so much joy in bringing smaller, happy pieces into existence. That’s what inspired this newest pattern: Star Emoji Appliqué.

I wanted something quick, bright, and universally cheerful—the kind of project that instantly lifts your spirits. I have always loved bright, vibrant colors, especially pink and yellow, and how they immediately pop against any background.

Sometimes, I sit down to crochet and notice my scrap basket overflowing with little remnants of color, just waiting for a purpose. This pattern is perfect for those moments! It gives you that wonderful, satisfying feeling of wrapping up a project fast.

This crochet star emoji appliqué is ready to add a burst of sunshine to anything, from the corner of a soft baby blanket to a fun piece of wearable decor.

It’s an easy shape that uses basic stitches, which means you can easily finish it in one relaxing session. It’s absolutely wonderful for those evenings when you only have a short amount of time to sit down with your yarn.

If your yarn stash is bursting with small colorful remnants, this pattern is the perfect way to turn those scraps into something beautiful.

Versatile and Easy to Adapt

This little star works perfectly for those who love the cute, Japanese-inspired aesthetic of kawaii decor and cosplay—my favorite kind of style!

One of my favorite things about this design is its versatility. You can customize the size by simply changing the yarn weight and corresponding hook:

• Small: Use DK yarn with a 3.5mm hook (approx. 7cm by 5cm)
• Medium: Use Aran yarn with a 5mm hook (approx. 9cm by 6cm)
• Large: Use Bulky yarn with a 6mm hook (approx. 10cm by 7cm)
• Extra Large: Use Super Bulky yarn with a 10mm hook (approx. 15cm by 10cm)

How can you use these appliqués?

• As a cute applique on blankets, clothing, or bags.
• To create unique hair clips, brooches, or jewelry.

For those who have a business, these are fantastic to make for markets or to sell online. Because they are so fast to make and use very little yarn, they are an efficient way to build up your inventory of ready-made pieces.

I truly hope that making this star emoji appliqué brings you a little moment of simple, peaceful happiness, too.
