All aboard, crochet crew – I’ve got a brand new pattern to share with you that’s sure to ruffle a few feathers (in the best possible way)! Introducing the dashing Captain Beakerson, a bold and briny seagull sailor who’s set to make waves in your yarn stash!
Pin for later:
Captain Beakerson is a cheeky little seabird with plenty of personality. From his classic white and grey feathers to his striking red scarf and charming sailor’s cap, this nautical gent is ready to navigate his way straight into your heart. Oh, and did I mention the anchor tattoo on his wing? It’s the perfect finishing touch for this high-seas hero!
This pattern is available exclusively in Crochet Now Magazine, Issue 120, and I couldn’t be more excited to finally share him with you. Whether you’re an old salt at amigurumi or just dipping your toes in the water, this project is a fun and rewarding make that’s sure to bring a smile.
🌊 SAVE CAPTAIN BEAKERSON ON RAVELRY 🌊
I made my Captain Beakerson using Ricorumi DK, one of my all-time favorite yarns. This 100% cotton yarn comes in handy 25g balls (57.5m) and is available in a wide range of options—80 solid shades, 10 spray shades, 5 prints, 3 neon colors, plus some sparkly 10g balls in gold and silver lamé. There’s such a fantastic variety to choose from.
I used the Ricorumi shades 2 balls in White 001 then 1 ball of Blue 032, Pearl Grey 004, Saffron 063 & Red 028 with a 3mm hook (closest US size D/3). Then the only other things you need for Captain Beakerson are:
- toy stuffing
- 2 black safety eyes, 8mm
- some stitch markers
- black embroidery thread
- a tapestry needle
- small amount of Plastic Poly Pellets for weighting
