My toddler son is positively bonkers for The Octonauts, so how could I not make him a doll from his favorite show? Now you can, too, with the Captain Barnacles pattern!

This crochet pattern is written in English with U.S. crochet terms. It is three pages long and written in easy to follow directions.

I work hard to make sure my patterns are very thorough- I give you stitch counts for each round, tell you where to make increases and decreases (no doing the math yourself!!), and provide lots of photos as guides. Captain Barnacles is not hard to make, I promise.

The finished doll measures app 8” tall.
