Plush Bonanza Beechcraft

V-tail
crochet pattern
Foreword 

The pattern contains a description of crochet plush plane like Bonanza Beechcraft V-tail.
The size of the finished toy when crocheting from plush yarn:
• fuselage length 30 cm (11,8 in)
• maximum width at the edges of the wings 30 cm (11,8 in)
I crochet in a mixed way (grabbing the working thread first from above, then from below). If
you use another method, the size can be both larger and smaller.
The pattern does not contain crochet lessons, so you need to have skills and know the basics
of crocheting.

Necessary materials:

- One scein of plush yarn Yarnart Dolce or analogs (100 grams / 120 meters) of blue color
- little of plush yarn Yarnart Dolce or analogs (100 grams / 120 meters) of milk color
- little of strong thin yarn of blue and milk color for propeller and sewing (I used Yarnart
Jeans(50 grams / 160 meters)
- some blue or black felt for the windows
- black sewing thread for sewing on windows or glue
- hook 4 mm
- hook 1,5 mm
- hollofiber filler
- scissors
- needle
- markers
- pins

Abbreviations:
MR – magic ring
sc – single crochet
hdc – half double crochet
sl st – slip stitch
inc – 2 sc in the next stitch
dec - invisible decrease
(27) – number of stitches you should have at the end of the round
(…)*3 – repeat whatever is between the brackets the number of time stated

Lets crochet

Fuselage
Blue plush yarn
You need to make a triangle shape. This will
work if we make 3 stitches in one loop.
1. 9 sc in MR (9)
2. (2 sc, 3 sc in 1 loop) * 3 (15)
3. (4 sc, 3 sc in 1 loop) * 3 (21)
4. 21 sc for the back half of the loop (21)
5-10. 21 sc (21)

11. You need to make 6 increases exactly in the middle of the


triangle
I have it:7 sc, 6 inc, 8 sc (27)
Find your center of the triangle and crochet the required number
of stitches.
12-13. 27 sc (27)

In the next row, the increase should also be in the middle.


If, due to the peculiarities of crocheting, your beginning of the row
has shifted differently from mine, find the center of the upper part
and count the required number of stitches. The increase should be
in the center and 2 sc and 1 inc from it to the left and right.
I have it like this:
14. 11 sc, inc, 2 sc, inc, 2 sc, inc, 9 sc (30)
15-16. 30 sc (30)
17. (4 sc, inc) * 6 (36)
18-20. 36 sc (36)
21. (10 sc, dec) *3 (33)
22. 33 sc (33)
23. (9 sc, dec) *3 (30)
24-25. 30 sc (30)

Fill the fuselage with filler and add it during crocheting.
26. (8 sc, dec) * 3 (27)
27-28. 27 sc (27)
29. (7 sc, dec) *3 (24)
30-31. 24 sc (24)
32. (6 sc, dec) * 3 (21)
33-34. 21 sc (21)
35. 19 sc, dec (20)
36. 9 sc, dec, 9 sc (19)
37. 17 sc, dec (18)
38. 8 sc, dec, 8 sc (17)
39. 17 sc (17)
40. 15 sc, dec (16)
41. 16 sc (16)
42. 14 sc, dec (15)
43. 6 sc, dec, 7 sc (14)
44. 12 sc, dec (13)
45. 5 sc, dec, 6 sc (12)
46. 10 sc, dec (11)
47. 4 sc, dec, 5 sc (10)
48. 8 sc, dec (9)
49. 7 sc, dec (8)
50. 6 sc, dec (7)
51. 5 sc, dec (6) + sl st
Fasten the thread, cut and tighten the hole.
Tail
Blue plush yarn
You need to make 4 identical parts. Then we will combine them two pieces into one. You will
get 2 strong parts of the V-tail.
Crochet in turning rows. Each new row starts with 1 chain.
For each pair, cut the thread on one part, but do not cut on the second and continue to
crochet around the perimeter of the parts to "sew" them together with a hook.
6 chains
Starting from the second loop from the hook, crochet in a chain:
1. 5 sc (5)
2-9. Turn, 1 chain, 5 sc (5)
Fasten the thread to one part and cut it off. On the second, make one chain, do not cut the
thread.

4
Fold the two pieces flat and crochet on
three sides.
Thus, we will connect two parts into one
strong.
Crochet 1 sc in each stitch. In each corner,
crochet in one loop (1 sc + 1 hdc + 1 sc).
This is necessary so that the angle is
more pronounced and does not twist.
Fasten the thread at the end with a chain
and cut off.
Make another one part of the same.

Wings
Blue plush yarn
You also need to crochet 4 parts and then connect them two into one, just like the tail.
Crochet in turning rows. Each new row starts with 1 chain.
For each pair, cut the thread on one part, but do not cut on the second and continue to
crochet around the perimeter of the parts to "sew" them together with a hook.
8 chains
Starting from the second loop from the hook, crochet in a chain:
1. 7 sc (7)
2-14. Turn, 1 chain, 7 sc (7)

5
Fasten the thread to one part and cut off. On the second, make one
chain, do not cut the thread.
Fold the two pieces flat and crochet on three sides.
Thus, we will connect two parts into one strong.
Crochet 1 sc in each stitch. In each corner, crochet in one loop
(1 sc + 1 hdc + 1 sc).
This is necessary so that the angle is more pronounced and does not
twist.
Fasten the thread at the end with a chain and cut off.
Make another one part of the same.

Engines (2 pcs)
Plush yarn, I used milky color
1. 5 sc in MR (5)
2. 2 sc, inc, 2 sc (6)
3. inc, 5 sc (7)
4. 3 sc, inc, 3 sc (8)
5. 7 sc, inc (9)
6. 4 sc, inc, 4 sc (10)
7- 10. 10 sc (10)
Fill the part with filler and add it during crocheting.
11. 8 sc, dec (9)
12. 7 sc, dec (8)
13. 6 sc, dec (7)
14. 5 sc, dec (6)
15. 4 sc, dec (5)
Fasten the thread with sl st and cut off. Hide the end of the thread inside the engine.

6
Propeller holder
Cotton yarn or any other yarn of approximately the same yardage (50 g / 160 m)

1. 5 sc in MR(5)
2. 4 sc, inc (6)
3. 5 sc, inc (7)
4. 6 sc, inc (8)
5. (3 sc, inc) * 2 (10)
6. (4 sc, inc) * 2 (12)
7. (5 sc, inc) * 2 (14)
Fasten the thread with the sl st, leave a long end for sewing and cut off.

Propellers (3 pcs)
I make them on the principle of crocheting a cord.
Perhaps you know this and it will be easier for you. You can also watch a
video how to crochet a cord at the link.
First we leave the thread, about 60 cm (23 inches). Then fold it in half to
form a thicker double thread.
Make a chain, but not on the edge, but in the middle of the thread.
We crochet each stitch according to this principle:
There is a loop on the hook, we make the yarn over on the hook from
the leaving thread, we crochet sc with a working thread through two
loops.
Then again we make a yarn over from the leaving thread and crochet sc.
You need to make 9 such stitches.
Then we fasten the thread and cut it off.

7
Place the parts of the propeller in correct position, pull the ends of
the threads into the inside of the holder and tie each pair of threads
into 2 knots.
Cut off the long tails and hide short tails inside the holder, so we use
the tails of the threads instead of the filler.

Windows
You need to draw a template for windows and cut them out of
paper or cardboard, or print my file and cut out the templates.
Then take thin black or blue felt and cut out all the windows using
templates.
The central window is 1 pc, and the side windows are all 2 pcs.

Assembly

Find the center of the toy. To do this, I find the center


between the increments in the 11th row and then
follow it.

Place the wings between rows 14 and 22 at a distance of 9 sc from the center of the toy.
That is, the wings are 18 sc from each other.
Fix it with pins and sew along the perimeter with a strong thin thread to the tone of the
main yarn. I use Yarnart Jeans in blue (50g/160m).
I bring all the ends of plush and thin threads to one point and tie them into 2 knots. I hide
extra tails inside the toy. This is necessary so that the details are sewn more securely and do
not tear during the game.

Fasten the engines with pins at the ends of


the wings and sew them around the
perimeter with a thin thread to the tone of
the plush yarn.
I also use Yarnart Jeans (50g/160m) milky.
Pull the ends of the threads through one
hole, tie into 2 knots and hide the excess
inside the wing or engine.

10
Place the tail pieces about 4-5 rows from the edge of the fuselage at an angle so as to form a V-
shape. In the middle they should touch.
Secure with pins and sew along the perimeter with a thin, strong thread.
Tie all the tails of the threads together and hide inside the toy. Everything is the same as with
other thread tails.

Place the propeller at the center point of the front fuselage.


It's between rows 2 and 3.
Fasten with pins and sew around the entire circumference
with the thread that we left.

Place the windows so that there is approximately the same distance between them.
First, I fix the front window and from it to the left and right I continue to place all the others.
The front window is above 11 row.
Sew the windows with regular sewing thread. Or glue them if the toy is not for the child.
