Here is Day 26 of my 26 Days of Crochet Animal Alphabet Appliques!
WOW! I can’t believe this is the last day of my animal appliqués! I hope you have enjoyed this series and stay tuned for the reveal of my Animal Alphabet Afghan in the next couple weeks! This Zebra is actually the same pattern as my Giraffe appliqué so that makes it easy 🙂 You could probably use this pattern for a variety of other animals as well!
Sl St = Slip Stitch
SC Decrease = Single Crochet Decrease
Zebra Applique Pattern:
Starting with black…
Magic ring, chain 1 and make 5 SC in ring, pull tight but don’t join, chain 1 turn

Thank you very much for sharing this animal appliqué alphabet. Your generous creativity and hard work will be appreciated and used by many. I certainly look forward to putting the cute lil guys to work on some of my projects I'm making for some friends!
Gorgeous little zebra. Thanks you for all the great patterns.
Dear greetings, Margaret
Thanks for all the wonderful appliques 🙂
Thanks so much for all the wonderful patterns!
I love this pattern, I will do it for my first gradchild, thank you
This is absolutely the cutest afghan I have seen with all the little pieces. What a great project to work on if travelling and then can be appliqued when arriving either at your destination or back home. Thank you so much for all the time you have taken to put this together. Someone is going to enjoy getting this afghan and it will grow with the baby as he/she grows.
Thank you so much for the alphabet appliques! I am 76 years old and wanted to make an applique blanket for my little 5 year old granddaughter for Christmas. Your appliques are perfect! Bless you! Sharon
