For The Wolf & The Sheep appliques, I found this amazing wolf granny square applique free crochet pattern! Another great free crochet pattern to add to the list. I personally did not add the granny square aspect, as I was looking for appliques on their own. However, I did highlight my version of the Wolf in blue to really make his fur stand out. I really enjoyed using white velvet yarn for the fur!

The Fox & The Stork is one of my favorite fables. I found this absolutely adorable heart-shaped fox applique, what a great free crochet pattern find! Personally, I used a light weight (3) yarn in red and orange together to create a dynamic fur color combination. Instead of red and orange, maybe orange and gray? I hope you had as much fun as I did creating this cute fox applique by Golden Lucy Crafts.

The last Aesop’s Fable is The Farmer and His Three Enemies. A Farmer caught a Wolf, Fox, and Hare and heard each story of why they were on the farm. Hare was honest; the other two were arrogant. The Hare only went free. The truth may set you free. I hope you find inspiration in these sweet Rabbit Appliques! Be it for an aesop fables, animals, or holidays!
Another Aesop’s Fable is The Rat & The Elephant. “A resemblance to the great in some things does not make us great” is another great lesson to be learned. This sweet Elephant Applique free crochet pattern would fit in perfectly with the other appliques on this list, you could sew them on hats, or scarves or create a mobile with them! I hope you find inspiration in the Elephant Crochet Applique by Natalia Craft!
I often incorporate flowers, leaves, vines, or other foliage, to add a little something to my applique crochet projects. This 3D Dahlia Flower is a beautiful and elegant way to enhance anything. I used a few of them in the display above! I hope they inspire you as well.
I have been making a lot of various garlands the last year and can tell you, that I have used this free crochet pattern for vines and leaves several times! I feel like this is a classic pattern that every crocheter needs to have in their books. Thank you!
