Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Wheels

Start by crocheting the wheels. You can use a magic ring or any other method you're comfortable with to create a circle. Crochet 6 single crochets (SC) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch (SL ST) to close the round. Repeat this step to make a total of 2 wheels.

Step 2: Base

To create the base of the dump truck, begin by chaining a desired number of stitches (this will depend on the size of your applique). Then, single crochet (SC) in each chain across. Chain one (CH 1) and turn your work. Repeat this row until you reach the desired width of the base.

Step 3: Truck Body

Next, continue working on the body of the dump truck. Single crochet (SC) in each stitch across, chain one (CH 1),and turn your work. Repeat this row until you reach the desired height of the truck body.

Step 4: Truck Cabin

For the truck cabin, crochet two rectangular pieces using single crochets (SC). The width and height of the rectangles will depend on the desired size of your applique and personal preference.

Step 5: Assembly

Now it's time to put all the pieces together. Using a tapestry needle and the same yarn color as the truck body, sew the wheels onto the base. Attach the cabin to the top of the truck body, making sure it's securely fastened. You can add details like windows or a door using different colored yarn or embroidery thread. Use safety eyes or embroider eyes onto the cabin, and add any other embellishments you'd like.

Step 6: Finishing Touches

Lastly, weave in all loose ends and trim any excess yarn. Your crochet dump truck applique is now complete! You can either sew it onto your desired item or attach a pin backing to make it a removable accessory. The choice is yours!
