Such an anchor and steering wheel can complement the look of your crocheted toy, as
well as decorate a keychain or a beach bag. Or to be an interesting garment decor.
When using thicker yarn than recommended one, you get larger pieces that can be used
to create a nautical-style interior.
The size of the figures made of recommended yarn is about 7 cm.

Since the third part is thin and long, stuff it as you go. So that the stuffing does not interfere
with crocheting, you can crochet, for example, 3 cm, but stuff only 2 cm, and so on until the
whole part is ready.

The 1st part

kh

The first part consists of center, right and left parts, it is crocheted from bottom to top.
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that the description uses two types of increases
- of 2 and 3 stitches made in 1 st.
ov

I recommend using marking thread as a stitch marker. That needs to show the beginning of
the row, since all the increases and decreases are calculated exactly from the beginning of
the row.

You can use a carabiner and white yarn. To attach the figures to the carabiner, I suggest
making cords in the macrame technique.

Cut a piece of yarn 60 cm long, thread it into the ring of the anchor and fold in half.

We got two threads in the center and one on each side. The center threads are the basis for
the cord that the knots will be knitted on.
To create a beautiful cord, I use the knot called “Macrame Single Flat Knot”. Tie it on as
shown in the photo below.

Make these knots all the way to the end of the cord base.

When the entire cord is woven, you need to make another knot around the center threads.
