🟤 Hull Rim

Change to Brown:

Rounds 11–14: sc around (42)

FO.
Lightly stuff so the hull keeps a shallow bowl shape, not a sphere.

---

🧺 Inner Deck Cushion

This is the raised white “pillow” visible inside the hull.

With White:

Ch 12
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc across (11)
Rows 2–7: sc across (11)

FO.
Lightly stuff and flatten into a small oval cushion.

---

❓ What Goes Between the Hull and the Cushion?

To match the photo, place a hidden support layer between the hull and the cushion.

Best options:

• Thin cardboard circle

• Plastic canvas

• EVA foam

• Felt folded 2–3 layers

Layer order (bottom → top):

1. Hull base

2. Support disk

3. Cushion

This keeps the cushion raised, prevents sagging, and allows the mast to stand straight.

---

🎏 Mast (Flat and Firm – Not Tubular)

With Brown:

Ch 26
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc across (25)

FO.

Fold lengthwise and whip stitch the long edges together to make a flat stiff strip, not a round tube.

---

Large Sail (Main Sail)

With White:

Row 1: ch 2, sc (1)
Row 2: ch 1, turn, inc (2)
Row 3: ch 1, turn, sc across (2)
Row 4: ch 1, turn, inc, sc (3)
Row 5: sc across (3)

Continue increasing every other row until the base measures 20 sc.

FO and block lightly.

---

🚩 Flag (Top of Mast)

With White:

Ch 6
Row 1: sc in 2nd ch from hook, sc 3, sl st
