About Squirrel
Ask for applique crochet and you get a hundred near-misses; Squirrel is one of the few that answers the question as asked. It sits at 27 saves — too few to call it popular, which is exactly why it is worth a look before everyone else finds it. It comes from Homeartist. No reviews either way, so the preview is doing all the work on this one.
A pattern that counts stitches at the end of each row saves you the evening you would otherwise spend frogging. We keep it filed mentally under applique pattern, which is the use that needs the least adjusting afterwards. The licence tab and the full-size preview are the whole of our due diligence here, and they take about a minute between them.
The words on the listing are crochet applique, crochet pattern, diy and embellishment, and they are worth reading as a description rather than as tags. 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. We filed it under Crochet Patterns for the obvious reason, and the shelf is small enough to read end to end.

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.
