NOAH AND HIS ARK

May 3, 2008 |

I love the Noah’s Ark baby afghan that appears on the cover of the May, 2008 issue of Crochet!

Reading the pattern got me to wondering. I’ve seen several other crochet interpretations of the Noah’s Ark theme. So, I went looking for them online. Here’s what I found:

Here’s one that was auctioned on ebay.com. It’s a 3D version of the ark with the thread pattern for sale:

I couldn’t find the source of this pattern that was made in size 10 thread. It looks like quite an undertaking, likely one I wouldn’t attempt, so I didn’t bid on it.

Crochet Cabriolet (Cro8http://members.aol.com/Cabri/crochet.htm) has 5 pages devoted to an extensive Ark and animal collection. It’s a beauty! Here’s one picture from that site:

The CrochetCabriolet version comes with a detailed story of how it was created and assembled. An ambitious project!

This one is in a Leisure Arts book - if you like patterns that begin with wording something like ‘make 350′ of some tiny square!

Another good looking one is here - at a reasonable price for the pattern:

Here’s a nice variation on the theme and a free pattern:

Biblical themes are, of course, timeless. Noah’s Ark appeals to adults and children equally. I like the idea of making a blanket with the Ark on it and small animal toys, a la amigurumi, for the baby to hold and play with. Of course, most any interpretation of this pattern works for me - except the one that begins something like ‘make 300′ of some square. Just can’t go for those. Not only do I not want to make 300 of anything, I certainly don’t want to JOIN those and then weave in all the ends. I would then be crazier than people probably thought Noah was all those years ago!

    The last picture looks like a bag. I cannot get the pattern from the link. Can you check the link and repost it?
