Cherry Applique

By Janet Carrillo "damn it Janet, let's crochet!"

Note: when you see a + sign it means all those stitches are supposed to be done in that one stitch.
CHERRY with crimson red; make 2
Rnd 1: 8hdc in magic ring, sl st into 1st st (8)
Rnd 2: ch2, 2hdc in next 3 sts, hdc+sl st in next st, sl st+hdc in next st, 2hdc in next 3 sts, join to 1st st with the invisible join (16)
F/O, secure and weave in the ends.

STEM with green
Attach the yarn to one of the cherries where we did the sl st's on.
ch11, sc in 2nd from hook, sc in next ch, sl st in next ch, ch7, attach to the other cherry
F/O, secure and weave in the ends.

ASSEMBLE
I recommend pinning the pieces in place before sewing them to make sure you have them in the position you like best before sewing. (Most people like to use the yarn at the end of the finished pieces to sew them in place, but I personally like to use matching thread).
     LEAF...using green felt, make a leaf and attach it to either side of the stem.
     EYES...these can be done however you like, the possibilities are endless. You can search online for "kawaii faces" or anything along those lines to get some ideas.
     SMILE...using black thread or embroidery floss, embroider a smile or use felt.

GLOSSARY:

ch/s:chain/s || sc: single crochet || hdc: half double crochet || sl st: slip stitch
st/s: stitch/es || rnd: round || f/o: finish off
