Crochet Volcano Pattern

Welcome to my crochet volcano pattern. This is a request that I received.  This is what the finished volcano applique will look like.

There’s also a video tutorial for this pattern available on my YouTube channel at crochet volcano tutorial.

When I was in my teens and twenties I lived in Rabaul, Papua New Guinea where there were extinct, dormant and active volcanoes.  While I was there we didn’t have any eruptions but had plenty of earthquakes and had evacuation plans prepared.

Two of the volcanoes have been erupting at times since 1994.

When a volcano erupted further down the island we flew down and was able to get some photos.

Weave in ends.  Stitch the lava flow to the top of volcano where shown.

Sew the bottom of the volcano in behind the top of the volcano.

And there’s the finished volcano applique. I’ve also made it in different sizes.
