Edging: ch 1. sc around the entire applique, making 3 sc in each point. Join with sl st in first sc. fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.
With white yarn and yarn needle, make football markings. Sew applique to your project.
*You could also use this to make a lemon applique, using yellow yarn, and not adding markings. I used an I hook. Size varies depending on what size hook or weight of yarn you use.
Happy Hooking!
