About Ballerina
Ballerina earned its place here for one reason: it is a straight answer to applique crochet, and straight answers are rarer in this pattern catalogue than you would think. Unreviewed so far — read that as untested rather than as a verdict. The designer behind it is Homeartist. 16 saves mean nobody has tested it for you. We still think it holds up.
If you want one use for it, take applique pattern: that is the direction the designer clearly had in mind, and it is the one we would follow. Whatever the project, the first thing we read is the finished size and the yarn weight; everything else can be adjusted, those two cannot. Before downloading, give the preview a full-size look and read the licence tab — two clicks, and they answer most of what the listing leaves unsaid.
Search for crochet applique, crochet pattern, diy and embellishment and this is the file those words land on; they are all the same pattern, filed under whichever phrase you happened to type. The searches that bring people to this shelf are crochet coasters, crochet toys, crochet basket, bookmark crochet and crochet bookmarks free patterns — this one sits in the middle of that group rather than off to the side of it. On this site it lives on the Crochet Patterns shelf, so it also turns up for people browsing crochet patterns rather than searching for it by name.

How to use this pattern
- Download the PDF from Creative Fabrica and check the yardage and hook size before you shop — a small gift rarely needs a full skein.
- Work the gauge swatch anyway on anything that has to fit, like a hat or a bracelet; on a stuffed toy you can skip it.
- Stuff toys firmer than feels right and close the seam with a ladder stitch — a gift gets squeezed, and loose stuffing shows within a week.
- Make the first one a week before you need it. The second one is always the one you give away.
