Introduction

Welcome to Dreamweaver, where we will be crocheting with love and creating a cute Hello Kitty applique. In this tutorial, I will guide you step-by-step on how to crochet this adorable design using simple stitches. It's a fun and easy project that anyone can enjoy.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials we'll need:

• 3mm crochet hook
• Yarn in three colors (off-white, yellow, and black)
• Twist black beads for the eyes
• Scissors
• Thread and needle
• Pink yarn for the bow

Round One: Making the Face Part

To start off, we will be making the face part of the Hello Kitty applique. Using the off-white yarn, create a slip knot and work nine chains. Then, skip the first chain and work one single crochet into the next seven stitches. Repeat the pattern on the opposite side, and finish the round with three single crochets in the last chain. Slip stitch to complete the round.

Round Two: Increasing the Stitches

In round two, we will be increasing the number of stitches. Start with one chain, and work one single crochet into the next eight stitches. In the next stitch, work three single crochets. Repeat the pattern on the opposite side and slip stitch to finish the round.

Round Three: Continuing the Increases

Round three follows a similar pattern of increasing stitches. Begin with one chain and work one single crochet into the next nine stitches. In the next stitch, work three single crochets. Repeat this pattern on the opposite side. Slip stitch to complete the round.

Round Four: Adding More Stitches

For round four, we will be adding even more stitches. Start with one chain and work one single crochet into the next ten stitches. In the next stitch, work two single crochets. Repeat this pattern on the opposite side. Slip stitch to finish the round.

Round Five: Further Increases

In round five, we will continue to increase the stitches. Begin with one chain and work one single crochet into the next 11 stitches. In the next stitch, work two single crochets. Repeat this pattern on the opposite side. Slip stitch to complete the round.

Round Six: Adding the Ears

The final round involves adding the ears to our Hello Kitty applique. Start with one chain and work one single crochet into the next 16 stitches. In the next three stitches, work the ear pattern, consisting of one single crochet and one half double crochet in the first stitch, followed by two double crochets in the next stitch, and one half double crochet and one single crochet in the last stitch. Repeat this pattern for the second ear. Finish the round with one single crochet in each of the remaining stitches and slip stitch to complete.

Sewing the Eyes

After completing the face part, it's time to sew the eyes. Using a threader needle, sew the black beads onto the face to create the eyes.

Sewing the Mouth

Next, we will sew the mouth using yellow yarn. Follow the stitches to create the desired shape for Hello Kitty's mouth.

Adding the Whiskers

Once the mouth is in place, we can add the whiskers. Using the black yarn, sew the desired number of whiskers on each side of Hello Kitty's face.

Final Steps and Conclusion

To finish off the applique, tie a bow using pink yarn and attach it to the side of Hello Kitty's head. Finally, secure any loose ends and trim off excess yarn. Congratulations, you have completed your adorable Hello Kitty applique!
