About Hot Air Balloon
Hot Air Balloon is our applique crochet pick, and it is a pick rather than a default — we looked at the shelf twice before leaving it on. It comes from Homeartist. No reviews either way, so the preview is doing all the work on this one. Only 20 people have saved it so far, so this is our pick rather than the crowd's.
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. A pattern that counts stitches at the end of each row saves you the evening you would otherwise spend frogging. Open it big before you commit. At thumbnail size every pattern on this shelf looks equally good, which is the problem with thumbnails.
The listing files it under crochet applique, crochet pattern, diy and embellishment — those are the words it gets found by, and between them they describe the file better than any category name does. 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. The wording people arrive with is crochet coasters, crochet toys, crochet basket, bookmark crochet and crochet bookmarks free patterns, and we would rather shelve for those requests than for how a thumbnail looks in a grid.

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.
