Ballet needlepoint patterns

Ballet designs, among them a ballerina on pointe in a classical tutu, facing front, and the Sugar Plum Fairy from the Nutcracker.

The Sugar Plum Fairy is drawn in two styles. All are four inches square on 18 mesh, and the whimsical Sugar Plum Fairy can be made round. Arms and legs are narrow shapes, so count the figure first and work the ground afterward; most are marked beginner.
