Hi, if you are a regular reader of my blog you might remember the Titanic that I crocheted in 2014 for my son's 10th birthday. If not you can check the post here. Sadly my son is no more. I lost him last year to a motorbike accident just a few days after his 19th birthday.
I never wrote a pattern for the old Titanic though some of my readers had asked me to share a pattern for it. I was just not interested and it seemed too tedious, but a few months ago I was asked by a reader for a pattern. She wanted to make one for her son who was a ship builder and had had some kind of accident. He had to undergo multiple surgeries and was recovering. This motivated me to make a better version of the previous one for my son 's 20th birthday. I'm sure he would have loved it.
Round 1: Work 5 sc up to the marked st. (5th
st will be worked in the marked st), work 42 sc up to the next marker
working the last st in the marked st, 12 sc along the slanted part, 3 sc at the
tip, 12 sc along the slanted part on the opposite side, 42 sc from marked st to
just before the next marked st, 5 sc from marked st up to the top, sc in each
of the next 5 sts. (5+42+12+3+12+42+5+5 =126 sts). Do not join.
Round 2 (work into
back loops only): Place marker at the 1st st
and work sc in the back loop of each sc around. (126 sts)
Round 3 to 5: Sc in each st
around. (126 sc).
Round 6 to 12: Pull black through
the loop and work sc in each st around using black. (126 sc).
Round 13: Pull yellow through the loop and work sc in each st around. Cut off
yarn.
Deck
Using brown work
rows 1 to 60 of base and the 1st round of body. You’ll have 126 sts.
Place a marker at the last st and cut off yarn leaving a long tail which will
be used later for sewing.

Attaching
accommodation to the deck

lines or ridges visible on the deck. From
the curved part (stern) of the ship count 7 ridges and mark the 7th
ridge where the straight part of the accommodation will be placed. Place the
accommodation and sew the straight back part to the 7th ridge.
Then sew the sides
joining 26 sts on the sides of the accommodation to the 26 sts on the deck from
the 7th ridge. Sew both the sides.
You’ll have the
front slanted part remaining. Fill the accommodation space with fiberfill or
any other stuffing pushing in as much as possible without distorting the shape.
Then place the
cardboard inside the slanted part and sew the front side of the accommodation
shut.
The front part will
be on the 10th ridge from the pointed tip (bow) of the ship.

Bow of ship (pointed
front part)
The pointed part of
the deck will have 2 sts at the tip. Count 15 sts from each one and place a

from one marker to the next.

Mast
Apply glue at about
an inch below the top end of the pole and wrap the thread a few times around
the pole and make few knots to secure tightly leaving long pieces of thread at
both ends.
Then attach the bamboo
sticks to the front and back of the deck. You can insert one end of the stick
through the sts and glue it to the cardboard underneath the surface of the
deck.
Secure the ends of
thread to the sides of the deck. Do this for both the poles. Tie a thread
between the 2 poles. Instead of thread you can also use metal wires.
