How to crochet a cuddly little fire truck

As a mommy of a boy I know one thing for sure. Little boys (and also girls) can spend hours playing with fire trucks. And when it's time to go to bed, they even want to take them with them. With this crochet toy you can now make this dream come true! And of course it makes not only small but also big firefighters smile.

The pattern is an easy to follow step-by-step tutorial with many pictures. You should know some basic techniques as single crochets (in rounds and rows), increases and decreases. Others, which are less common, are explained in detail (as for example front and back past single crochets).

Gauge is not critical for this pattern, but you might want to note that I tested it with dk yarn and a 2,5 crochet hook. Using this yarn weight the fire truck becomes about 15cm high. You will need about 1 skein of red yarn, less than 1/2 skein of grey and black yarn and some bits and pieces in yellow and light blue. Some soft filling, scissors and a needle should also be at hand.

I am happy to answer any questions, so please don't hesitate to contact me.

Have fun crocheting!
