Surf's Up Camper

For retro enthusiasts and surfing aficionados, this delightful **Chubby Camper Van** knitting pattern is sure to brighten your day! Designed by the talented Amanda Berry (@fluffandfuzz), this adorable camper van and surfboard combination is a fun project for knitters looking to expand their skills. Knitted using vibrant acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round), this project is accessible to confident beginners and above.

One of the standout features of this pattern is its simplicity—there's no tricky color-work to master! If you can change color at the end of a row to create stripes, you can easily craft your own charming camper. The camper van pieces are knitted in cozy stockinette stitch and skillfully sewn together, giving it a sturdy yet whimsical look. After completing your knitting, you can add the finishing touches by embroidering the white window struts using the duplicate stitch technique, which adds a beautiful detail to your project.

This pattern not only allows you to create a fun camper van but also helps you practice essential knitting techniques such as casting on and off, knitting knits and purls, increases and decreases, knitting stripes, and seaming to achieve a polished finish. So whether you’re an avid knitter or just starting your journey, this camper van knitting pattern promises to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience.
