About MERMAID
This is the one we reach for when the request is applique crochet. MERMAID keeps it simple, which is why it sits here rather than in the reserve pile. No reviews either way, so the preview is doing all the work on this one. It is Homeartist's work. 27 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. 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.
It answers to crochet applique, crochet pattern, diy and embellishment, and that spread of wording is worth noting: a file tagged this consistently usually behaves the way the preview suggests. What this shelf gets asked for is crochet coasters, crochet toys, crochet basket, bookmark crochet and crochet bookmarks free patterns. That list is why these files are here and not some prettier ones. You will find it among the crochet patterns, sorted next to everything that does roughly the same job.

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.
