Free Crochet Pattern: The Rising Sun

Hello everyone. The month of MAY is here. The only thing that comes to my mind when I think of May is the Sun and the heat and I have a very beautiful project to suit the weather now. The Rising Sun crochet applique. I always wanted to do something related to sun to depict the climate and so I ended up doing this. 

You don't have to get all sweaty to do this,it is so easy to make and it is a quick crochet project. You can use this for wall decor or as an applique on cushion covers, dress, cozies, etc.
