Hello airplane!
I made this airplane for an adorable little guy, although now I’m doubting if it’s baby safe. Should work into safety measures, but posting it cos I’d been wanting to post it for a while now. You can make this using an easy peasy amigurumi pattern I’ve come up with.
Yarn : Gray & Blue Acrylic yarn
Hook : 2.5mm
Note : Work in continuous rounds, do not join.
Airplane nose & body:
Starting with the gray coloured yarn for its nose,
Round 1: Magic Circle, 6sc into the circle & then pull it close. (6)
Round 2: 2sc in each sc around. (12)
Round 3: [sc in the sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 6 times. (18)
Round 4: [sc in the next 2sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 6 times. (24)
Round 5: [sc in the next 3sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 6 times. (30)
Round 6: sc around. (30)
Round 7: sc around. (30)
Join in with the blue coloured yarn,
Round 8: [sc in the next 4sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 6 times. (36)
Round 9: sc around. (36)
Round 10: sc around. (36)
Round 11: [sc in the next 5sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 6 times. (42)
Round 12: sc around. (42)
Round 13: sc around. (42)
Round 14: [sc in the next 5sc, dec in the next 2sc] * 6 times. (36)
Round 15: sc around. (36)
Round 16: sc around. (36)
You can choose to do this before or after making the body of the plane. But I prefer to make and join this as I go.
Round 17: [sc in the next 4sc, dec in the next 2sc] * 2 times,
12 sc(back loops)
[sc in the next 4sc, dec in the next 2sc] * 2 times.
Fold and join the first circle into the chain 12 space of the next round.
Round 18: 10sc, chain 12, 10sc.
Round 19: sc around (i.e., 10sc, 12sc, 10sc).
Round 20: 10sc,[sc in the next 4sc, dec in the next 2sc] * 2times, 10sc. (30)
Round 21: sc around. (30)
Round 22: sc around. (30)
Round 23: 10sc, chain 10, 10sc.
Fold and join the second circle into the chain 10 space.
Round 24: sc around. (30)
:
Round 33: sc around. (30)
Round 34: [sc in the next 3sc, dec in the next 2sc] * 6 times. (24)
Round 35: sc around. (24)
:
Round 38: sc around. (24)
Round 39: [sc in the next 2sc, dec in the next 2sc] * 6 times. (18)
Round 40: sc around. (18)
:
Round 43: sc around. (18)
Round 44: [sc in the next sc, dec in the next 2sc] * 6 times. (12)
Round 45: dec in every two sc around. (6)
Tail Wing:
Round 1: Magic Circle, 6sc into the circle & then pull it close. (6)
Round 2: 2sc in each sc around. (12)
Round 3: [sc in the sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 6 times. (18)
Round 4: [sc in the next 2sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 6 times. (24)
Round 5: sc around. (24)
:
Round 7: sc around. (24)
Fold and sew it into the tail end of the plane.
Bottom front wing: (Make two these to fix to the sides)
Round 1: Magic Circle, 6sc into the circle & then pull it close. (6)
Round 2: 2sc in each sc around. (12)
Round 3: [sc in the sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 6 times. (18)
Round 4: [sc in the next 2sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 6 times. (24)
Round 5: sc around. (24)
:
Round 15: sc around. (24)
The airplane is now baby safe, and is an ideal gift/toy for any baby pilots and older ones. However I decided I’ll go fancy and add in the retro effect to the plane with twin blade propellers and top wing. ( Excuse me if I’m naming them all wrong)
Top front wing:
Round 1: Magic Circle, 6sc into the circle & then pull it close. (6)
Round 2: 2sc in each sc around. (12)
Round 3: [sc in the sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 6 times. (18)
Round 4: [sc in the next 2sc, 2sc in the next sc] * 6 times. (24)
Round 5: sc around. (24)
:
Round 33: sc around. (24)
Round 34: [sc in the next 2sc, dec in the next 2sc] * 6 times. (18)
Round 35: [sc in the next sc, dec in the next 2sc] * 6 times. (12)
Round 46: dec in every two sc around. (6)
Front Propeller:
Round 1: Magic Circle, 4sc into the circle & then pull it close. (4)
Round 2: 2sc in each sc around. (8)
Round 3: sc around. (8)
:
Round 7: sc around. (8)
Round 8: dec in every two sc around. (4)
Round 9: sc around. (4)
Round 10: sc around. (4)
Round 11: 2sc in each sc around. (8)
Round 12: sc around. (8)
:
Round 16: sc around. (8)
Round 17: dec in every two sc around. (4)
Although the propeller was a bit twisty, I thought it looked cool that way. Now that I look at it, if anyone has a better pattern please let me know. 🙂
Thank you. This is wonderful.
Hello! I’m trying this airplane as my first amigurumi project for my dad. (It’s very cute!) I have questions, please. 1) On your written pattern. What does it mean when there are no directions for some of the rounds and there are just : instead? 2) Can you please tell more about what it means to “fold and join” the circles for the cockpit? I do not understand if you join it in one stitch or if you start crocheting around that circle piece (and why it is folded). Thank you so much for your help!!!!
Hi Angela, Sorry about the really late reply had just been stuck with life. And answering your queries,
1) The : just means that you have to single crochet around that particular row with no increases to decreases.
2) At the time I was writing this pattern I was a beginner and my pattern to making semi circles were a disaster. So I made two circles and folded them into half to make the semi circle. Just imagine placing a taco in between to make place for the seating. Which was what I was trying to do.
Hope it helps, thank you.
