This pattern is for the boat with duck floatie, life ring, fishing rod and anchor as well as the mouse and its lifejacket and hat!

The pattern contains lots of photos to help you every step of the way. It is written in English, using American crochet terms. The pattern has been independently tested prior to publication.

You will need:
Yarn of your choice. Yarn weight doesn’t really matter - the size of your project will simply turn out bigger or smaller! I used Patons Smoothie DK yarn for the majority of my project (this is quite a thick DK yarn so it is equivalent to aran or light worsted weight in other brands) and my finished boat measures approximately 28cm long and 13.5cm tall. Please ensure that you use the same weight yarn to make both your boat and the mouse & the accessories to ensure that they will fit.

You will need the following colours:

Main mouse colour - I used pale grey & cream (approx. 23.5m of each colour).

Nose / ears / feet / tail colour - I used pale pink (approx. 26m to make 2 mice).

Main boat colour - I used white (approx. 276m).

Seat colour - I used beige (approx. 96m).

Screen & motor colour - I used dark grey (approx. 45m).

Stripe colour - I used red (approx. 4.5m).

Anchor colour - I used black (approx. 10m).

Life ring / life vest / fish colour - I used orange (approx. 37m).

Duck floatie colour - I used yellow approx. 27m).

Please Note = The amount of yarn used will vary according to yarn weight, hook size and stitch tension so these measurements are only a rough guide. The pattern refers to the colours that I used, however these can be substituted for colours of your choice.

You will also need:

A suitable size hook for the yarn you have chosen - I used a 4mm hook.

3 pairs of 6mm black safety eyes (2 pairs for the mice & 1 pair for the duck floatie).

Some toy stuffing.

Some finer black yarn or thread for adding the details to the mouse’s face, and the name to the boat.

‘7 count’ plastic canvas. I had a 26cm x 33cm sheet (that’s 10.25 x 13.5 inches) & I used just under 2 sheets. A higher count (that’s the number of holes per inch) will mean the plastic is more bendy so stick to 7 count if possible.

2 small buttons for fastening the life vests (& a needle and thread with which to attach them).

2 medium buttons for fastening the duck floatie & life ring to the boat (& a needle and thread with which to attach them).

Other tools you will need are a tapestry needle, some scissors and some stitch markers.
