This cute crochet Seal applique is made from crocheted hearts and it is another addition to my series of Heart-Shaped appliques. It is easy and fun to make – you just need to crochet hearts according to instructions and then sew them together in the shape of the animal!

So sweet, so beautiful, so simple. I love it!
Elena, thankyou so much for the lovely heart Appliques! I love the Catepillar, Elephant, Seal and Butterflies! They are perfect to decorate an Afghan that i am making for a child with heart problems! All the butterflies i have found need to be folded in half and it would create a bulky butterfly!
Thanks again for sharing your beautiful work.
