Vladia's handmade: Brand new jogging bottoms thanks to the snail on a leaf and apples

Crochet applique - snail, leaf, apple
Step by step tutorial (pattern)

Adamko has one pair of jogging trousers that he likes so much, to be honest, maybe I like them more :) . But as the jogging trousers had been worn almost everywhere, especially on the knees they were torn, so I decided to use my creative skills to make them look great again. I crocheted cute appliques on the knee parts.

I am posting the pattern in case you would like to make your own appliques.

Happy creating :)

We need

yarn (different colours)
hook, scissors

Abbreviations

mr - magic ring
ch - chain
slst - slip stitch
st - stitch
sc - single crochet
hdc - half double crochet
dc - double crochet
trc (tc) - triple crochet
qc - quadruple crochet

I also made charts for the apple and leaf.

APPLE

Start with red yarn. Into the mr crochet 2 ch (= the first dc), 4 trc, 2 dc, 1 sc, 2 dc, 4 trc, 1 dc. Do not close the mr. Add brown yarn using slst into the mr (you should make a slip knot and then by slst add the slip knot into the mr). Crochet 6 ch, go back towards the slip knot. In the third ch from the hook crochet 1 hdc, then crochet 1 sc in each ch until the slip knot (so altogether 3 sc). Slst to the mr. Now you can close the mr. Cut the yarn and hide the tails. The apple leaf should be in green colour. Add it to the brown stalk the same way you added the brown yarn to the mr. Crochet 5 ch, go back towards the stalk. In the second ch from the hook crochet slst, then 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 sc in each ch and slst to the beginning of the apple leaf. Cut the yarn, hide the tail.

the apple leaf from 5 ch, slst in the second ch from the hook, 1 hdc, 1 dc, 1 sc, slst to the beginning

LEAF

For the leaf under the snail start with 26 ch (25 ch plus 1 turning ch). In the second ch from the hook make slst, then 5 more slst in each ch, then 1 dc, 1 trc in each ch, 6 x 1 qc in each ch, 3 trc, 4 dc, 2 hdc, 2 sc, 1 sc in the same ch because now you should crochet towards the other end using the same chains but under the st you have just made. Repeat the st you have made, so now 1 sc in the next ch, 2 hdc, 4 dc, 3 trc, 6 x 1 qc, 1 trc, 1 dc, slst to the nearest st. Cut the yarn and hide the tail.

26 ch

6 slst

6 slst, dc, trc plus yarn over the hook 3 times

6 slst, dc, trc, 6 qc, 3 trc, 4 dc, 2 hdc, 2 sc

turning around - 1 sc from the bottom, so at the end crochet 2 sc in one st

finished leaf :)

THE SNAIL

Start the shell with mr, into the mr crochet 2 ch (= 1 dc), then 11 dc (altogether 12 dc with the first 2 ch). Do not slst but continue crocheting in circles, mark your first dc in each round. In the second round crochet 2 dc in each st (so increase). Next round is made from 2 dc in the first st and from 2 trc in the second st. Cut the yarn and hide the tail.

2 ch in mr (= the first dc in the round)

2 ch plus 11 dc

in the second ch, you made at the beginning, crochet dc that is the first dc of the second round, mark it

the first dc in the second round marked by a clip

2 dc (increase) in each st

the end of the second round, continue crocheting

the first two dc in one st

2 trc in the second st

The foot of the snail crochet from the head. Crochet 16 dc in mr (so 2 ch plus 15 dc). Close the mr. Now crochet the tentacles = 5 ch, in the second ch from the hook crochet hdc, then slst 3 times in each st in three next st, then 4 more slst to move to the second tentacle. Repeat the pattern in the second tentacle. Fasten it to the head by slst. 5 more slst to move to the bottom of the head. 2 ch ( = hdc), plus 2 more hdc in the st on the head. Now you should crochet 20 ch to move away from the head towards the shell. In the second ch from the hook crochet sc. Now you should form the foot according the shell edge = 2 hdc, dc, 2 hdc, 3 sc, 2 hdc, 5 dc, 3 hdc. Join the head part with the foot = join with slst to the bottom of the head (so with the last hdc on the head, before you started to crochet 20 ch). Move to the first tentacle by slst (so 5 slst). Cut the yarn, hide its tail.
