Crochet Handgun/Pistol -- Free Pattern

My oldest grandson, Jacob, has been asking me for months to crochet him a pistol/handgun.  He likes pretending he's a cop.  So, this morning, I finally sit down and worked up a basic pattern.  I will post the free pattern on my blog for anyone who is interested in making one.

Sk = skip
St = stitch
Inc = increase
Dec = decrease
Ext sc = extended single crochet (insert hook into ch or st, yarn over, pull thru ch or st, yarn over and pull through 1 loop on the hook, yarn over and pull through both loops on the hook)

    1. Hi, Grace. In #12, you will start with a chain 2 and single crochet in the second chain from the hook. You will then single crochet in the first stitch of the previous row. Now, chain 4 and then make an extended single crochet in the second chain from the hook and chain 1. Now you will skip the 2 remaining chains of the chain 4 you made. Then skip the next 3 stitches of row 11. Now, single crochet in next 9 stitches and make a decrease with the last 2 stitches. For a total of 13 stitches.

  2. Adorable!! It looks and feels so "wrong" while you're doing it, but stick with it! It all comes together and looks great. I made it with blanket yarn to make it big and gave it to my father-in-law for Christmas.

  4. I have made corrections to this pattern. #12 and #15 have been corrected!!! If you would like your handgun to be bigger, then I would use a 4.5 or 5.0mm hook.

  6. Hi! Can you tell me where I would change colors if I wanted the handle to be black, and the rest silver?

    1. With just looking at my pattern, end not actually trying it, I would say round 10 would start silver. This is the round that starts making the shaft of the gun.
