The ship crochet pattern is the next pattern I will be making. The ship is going to look like this once it’s finished.

There will also be a tutorial video to follow along with on YouTube at Crochet Ship Tutorial.

This pattern is going to use US terminology. I do have a UK version available at Ship Crochet Pattern (UK version) if you would like to used the UK terminology.
