Hi, if you are a regular reader of my blog you might remember the Titanic that I crocheted in 2014 for my son's 10th birthday. If not you can check the post here. Sadly my son is no more. I lost him last year to a motorbike accident just a few days after his 19th birthday.
I never wrote a pattern for the old Titanic though some of my readers had asked me to share a pattern for it. I was just not interested and it seemed too tedious, but a few months ago I was asked by a reader for a pattern. She wanted to make one for her son who was a ship builder and had had some kind of accident. He had to undergo multiple surgeries and was recovering. This motivated me to make a better version of the previous one for my son 's 20th birthday. I'm sure he would have loved it.

st will be worked in the marked st), work 42 sc up to the next marker

Round 2 (work into
back loops only): Place marker at the 1st st
and work sc in the back loop of each sc around. (126 sts)

around. (126 sc).
Round 6 to 12: Pull black through
the loop and work sc in each st around using black. (126 sc).
Round 13: Pull yellow through the loop and work sc in each st around. Cut off
yarn.
Deck

Apply glue at about
an inch below the top end of the pole and wrap the thread a few times around
the pole and make few knots to secure tightly leaving long pieces of thread at
both ends.
Then attach the bamboo
sticks to the front and back of the deck. You can insert one end of the stick
through the sts and glue it to the cardboard underneath the surface of the
deck.
Secure the ends of
thread to the sides of the deck. Do this for both the poles. Tie a thread
between the 2 poles. Instead of thread you can also use metal wires.
