Free pattern: plane with propeller

02/10/2017

New pattern: A little plane! I also made a version without propeller (it’s the same size and everything, just no propeller).

If you don’t understand the abbreviations used, you can find them in my faq. If you want to make this plane without any sewing, here is a video that shows how to attach the wings as you crochet the body.

Materials

  • 4 colors yarn (I like to use 100% cotton yarn like Scheepjes Larra, but you can use any yarn, as long as it matches your hook):
    • white
    • red
    • main color
    • wing color (if you want, this can be the same as the main color
  • crochet hook (I used 2,5 because it matches my yarn size)
  • darning needle
  • scissors
  • filling

Sew the wings on the body starting at row 12 (the row where you started the window), 2 stitches from the window (so on the third stitch). Here is a picture where I placed mine:

  1. Hi. I am making the plane with a propeller, and I have loved it so far. I am stuck on row 27 though. I think the pattern might have a typo, because if there are 12 sc in the 26th row and row 27 is sc7, inc2, sc 5, there would have to be 13 stitches to accommodate the inc2. How would I fix this in order to have the tail of the plane be in line with the body? Thanks!

    1. You’re totally right! My count was off. I rewrote the end of the pattern, starting with row 27. I rewrote it in a way that you can find out what your bottom part of the plane is, and continue crocheting from there.
      I hope this works better and thank you for telling me!
