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!
