This crochet hill appliqué forms the perfect rolling backdrop for a countryside scene. Soft curves and clean shaping make it ideal for layering in crochet landscape projects and picture panels.
The crochet hill is part of the Spring Landscapes Crochet Picture Set, which features three coordinating scenes and 14 mix-and-match motifs. Position hills across your panel to frame sheep, flowers and spring skies.
Create the foundation for your countryside view.

Yarn
For this crochet appliqué pattern, I used:
Scheepjes Catona, 100% Mercerized Cotton, (50g/1.76oz, 137yds/125m)
You will need 1 ball of the following colours to crochet all 3 backgrounds and 14 motifs: Yarn A: Sage Green 212, Yarn B: Fir 525, Yarn C: Lime 512, Yarn D: Forest Green 412, Yarn E: Baby Blue 509, Yarn F: Sky Blue 510, Yarn G: Lemonade 403, Yarn H: Snow White 106, Yarn I: Caramel 506, Yarn J: Lemon 280, Yarn K: Sweet Orange 411, Yarn L: Jet Black 110, Yarn M: Bluebird 247, Yarn N: Yellow Gold 208, Yarn O: Hazelnut 503.
Yarn Alternatives
This pattern is designed to be used with 4ply/sport weight yarn, but you can substitute for any that you prefer. You only really need small amounts of lots of the colours, so now is the perfect time to use yarn from your stash! Whilst I used cotton, you can equally use acrylic or wool for this design.
Here are a few alternative options:
Yarn and Colors Must-Have, 100% Cotton (50g/1.76oz, 125m/137yds)
Comfy Sport, 75% Pima Cotton, 25% Acrylic (50g/1.76oz, 125m/136yds)

Supplies you will need
- 3.0mm Crochet Hook or hook needed to match gauge and one 0.5mm smaller.
- A tapestry needle for working in ends
- Scissors
- Stitch markers
- Optional extras if you intend to hang your picture set may include frame, dowelling or similar
How to get the pattern
There are a few different ways that you can get your easy crochet hill pattern.
You can carry on scrolling down and read the pattern for free on the blog in US crochet terms. The blog has ads on it, which is how I am able to offer it for free. Please do bookmark the page and come back to it as you work on your pattern though, rather than trying to print it out. Spending time on this page is how I get paid. You will then need to move about the different blog posts for the backgrounds and remaining appliqué motifs.
Alternatively you can purchase a premium pdf version of the entire spring landscapes pattern, which includes schematic, stitch tutorials, links to lots of video tutorials and full explanations. The premium pattern comes in US and UK terms. And of course, if you purchase the pattern, it is yours to keep, print and make notes on too.
PLEASE NOTE: The premium pattern is a pdf crochet pattern, written in English. It is not a finished project. You will receive a digital download upon completion of purchase.

Crochet Stitches
Magic Ring (MR)
The magic ring is a fantastic way to start crocheting in amigurumi, and any crochet in the round. It can be a bit complicated though, so do check out my YouTube tutorial above for a visual guide.
- Lay the tail end of the yarn over your palm and wrap the ball end around your first 2 fingers. Cross the yarn over and hold that point with your thumb and forefinger.
- Pull the loop off your fingers, insert your hook into the hole and grab the ball end of the yarn with your hook.
- Pull the yarn back through the loop. At this point, readjust your hand so you are holding the yarn as you normally would.
- Put your middle finger and ring finger into the loop to hold it. Then yarn over and pull through to secure your ring.
Watch a video tutorial of the Magic Ring
Back loop and front loop only (blo & flo)
At certain points in the pattern you will be required to work in the back loop or front loop only (blo or flo) of a stitch.
To work into the back loop, rather than inserting your hook under both loops of the stitch, insert it into the loop that is furthest away from you.
To work into the front loop, rather than inserting your hook under both loops of the stitch, insert it into the loop that is nearest to you.
In the daffodil, we first work in the blo and then we come back and work into the flo of the same round.
Pattern Notes
Be sure to read through these notes before you start your crochet picture art – they will make it so much easier to understand the pattern!
- Read through the pattern completely before starting and refer to the stitch tutorials as needed.
- Ch2 counts as a st. Ch1 does not count as a st at the start of rows or rounds, unless specified.
- Stitch counts are given in this pattern in [ ] at the end of each row or round. Where no stitch count is given, it is the same as the previous row or round.
- Change colour on the last yarn over of the previous stitch. Use whichever colour changing technique you prefer.
- Some motifs require you to work in continuous spirals, whilst others are worked in joined rounds. To work in a continuous spiral, do not join to the first st at the end of a round, simply work the first st of the next round as directed, thus creating a spiral shape.
