E – Uppercase Tapestry Crochet Block

Here is the letter E in the tapestry crochet blocks series. It was fairly easy and straightforward, and I decided to leave off the surface crochet. I decided I liked it better without, but it’s up to you what you do.

E is for elephant. E is for Egg. E is for Eight, and E is for Eleven. Hint, hint as to what is to come in the distant future.

See the rest of the blocks here: Tapestry Alphabet Blocks.
