About this Crochet Pocket Patch

I got this wonderful green T-shirt a while back but the tiny brand name that it has on the left side always throws me off. I’ve had it in my closet for a while so when I came across it as I was rearranging my clothes, I decided to do something about the branding.

Taking it off wouldn’t work so I decided to make an applique for it and a crochet pocket is perfect. Of course I had to fall back on the ever-loved and versatile granny squares and the Sunflower Granny Square won this round. It complements the green T-shirt well. However, you can use almost any type of granny square for a pocket patch whether it’s the Classic Granny Square or something unique like the Eye Granny Square, Circle Granny Square or the Diamond Granny Square. Simply crochet and attach.

Attaching the Patch Pocket:

1. Block your crochet patch pocket.
2. Use pins to secure it to where you will sew it. Thread your needle with thread matching the last round of your pocket patch. If you don’t have matching thread, first cut about 6-10” of the yarn you used to crochet your last round. Unwind the piece and use that as your string.

3. Lastly, sew the pocket and place. Make sure the stitches you used to sew it are hidden for a neat and clean finish.
