Tractor Pattern

This pattern is for you mom. Let me know if you have any questions :) I crocheted a tractor on my plane trip. It was a lot of fun :)


Size G crochet hook
Color A: main tractor color (green, red, yellow, pink)
Color B: Black (wheel)
Color C: yellow/gold (inner wheel)

Tractor Top
 Rnd 1
With color A Ch 26
Rnd 2-12
Sc in each sc (25 stiches) ch 1 turn
Fasten off, on rnd 12 make two
  • sew together both pieces of the tractor top and stuff it so it looks like a stuffed square of sorts... one end of the tractor top goes in the middle of the other and vice versa. I wait to stuff it until there is only one end not connected. (this is why I shouldn’t write out patterns… sorry). Fasten off and weave in remaining yarn.


Tractor Body 1
Rnd 1
With Color A Ch 26
Rnd 2-34
Sc in each st (25 sc) ch 1 turn
Fasten off after rnd 34

Tractor Body 2
Rnd 1
With Color A Ch 47
Rnd 2-12
Sc in each st (46 sc’s)
Fasten off after rnd 12

  • sew the tractor body together using color A. Start by connecting Tractor Body 2 to the center of Tractor Body 1’s shorter end. Continue to sew; making sure that the other end of Tractor Body 2 is in the middle of the other end of Tractor Body 1. Wait to stuff until there are about 10 stitches left to sew. Fasten off, and weave in remaining yarn.
  • Attach the tractor top to one end of the body with color a. Fasten off and weave in remaining yarn.

  • with color B, sew the two large wheels and the two small wheels together, stuffing it with fluff near the end (last 5-10 stitches)… be sure not to over stuff the fluff). Fasten off and weave in the yarn. Attach the large wheels on the end with the tractor top at your desired wheel height. Attach the small wheels to the non tractor top end. Fasten off, and weave in your ends… You just made a tractor!!! Pat yourself on the back and grin.
