Pirate dolls

Knit one of these rascally pirates and you could find your treasure chest plundered! Children will love this motley crew consisting of a captain and two shipmates. They can be made to look fierce or friendly. One has an eye patch and the other has a leg with a stump and an arm with a hook. Both stump and hook are optional and can be omitted if child safety is an issue (details in pattern).
