Betty the Basic Engine (train)

Here is a simple little locomotive. The body is worked in rows using scs. The chimney is slightly trickier, being worked in the round. There is some sewing together required, but this is a suitable pattern for beginners. Hi, I’m Kate Solly. I write novels about crochet. My latest novel, The Paradise Heights Miniature Railway Bust-Up, is about trains and about crafters. I decided to celebrate its publication by designing my very own crocheted locomotive. Then I designed this smaller one for beginners to try. Enjoy!
