Cross Stitching on a Crocheted Piece?

I started my yarn work journey with crochet and I enjoy making blankets and scarves as gifts for people. I wanted to kick it up a notch by putting logos of their favorite sports teams on them or maybe a music note, something that suits them. I am not sure how or where to start when it comes to taking this next step. Any suggestions?

This shouldn't be too hard:

  1. You will need to transfer your pattern to your crochet piece.
  2. Now cut a length of yarn about 18" long.
  3. You will work from the back to the front and insert the needle in the back of your piece. You will start at the bottom of your design.
  4. You'll need to leave about 3" of yarn on the back so you can weave it in later.
  5. Now you will make your first row of diagonal stitches going from the bottom left to the top right.

  6. When you've come to the end of your design you will go the opposite way to form the cross. Now you will go from the bottom right to the top left.
  7. Make one row at a time and always start on the left and work towards the right. Then come back from right to left to finish the cross on your stitch.
  8. Each time you need to add new yarn always leave around 3" at the back so you can weave it in when done.
