Treasure Island

Embark on an exciting adventure with our delightful set of pirate toys, designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz! This charming knitting pattern allows you to create not only two adventurous pirates, the Captain and Ship’s Mate, but also a vibrant treasure island, a treasure chest, and a playful log raft featuring a classic Jolly Roger flag. Perfect for imaginative play or as unique knitted ornaments and desk companions, these adorable toys promise to capture your heart.

This knitting pattern predominantly employs stockinette stitch, supplemented by essential techniques such as increases and decreases to shape the toys. Crafted in soft, durable acrylic DK yarns, these whimsical creations are knitted on single pointed needles—not in the round—making it a rewarding project for those with a bit of knitting experience. While the design is suitable for confident beginners and above, please note that meticulous attention to detail is required during the finishing process. If you prefer projects that avoid seaming and intricate finishing, this pattern may not be the ideal choice for you.

Throughout the pattern, you will enhance your knitting skills as you master techniques including casting on and off, knits, purls, and various shaping methods. The resulting dolls stand at an impressive 10cm tall, while the treasure island measures 13cm in diameter and 13cm tall. The treasure chest, a treasure trove itself, is 4.5cm tall, 5cm wide, and 3cm deep, and the log raft, complete with its mast, is an adventurous 8cm long and 13cm tall. Dive into this fun knitting project and let your creativity sail towards treasure!
