As promised in our crochet teddy bear pattern, Tad, here is the sailor outfit that Tad is wearing.
This sailor costume set displayed is a charming collection of crocheted items ideal for an amigurumi figure. It includes:
- Sailor Top: The top is a classic sailor-style shirt in a crisp white color, accented with navy blue at the hem and cuffs, featuring a V-neck design that mimics a sailor’s blouse.

- Sailor Collar: A defining feature of the set is the sailor collar, which lays flat over the shoulders and back. It’s navy blue with white stripes along the edge, with a square back that resembles traditional naval uniforms.
- Sailor Hat: To top off the outfit, there’s a crochet sailor hat in white with a navy blue rim that fits snugly, resembling a classic sailor’s ‘dixie cup’ cap.
The entire set exudes a maritime charm, perfect for dressing up your amigurumi animal as a jaunty sailor ready to take to the high seas.
Crochet Supplies
Before you embark on your nautical crochet adventure to craft the adorable sailor costumes, make sure your supply chest is fully stocked! You’ll need:
- Yarn in the classic naval hues of navy blue and white. We used the same yarn weight as the amigurumi, which is a light worsted yarn weight.
- A 2.5 mm crochet hook will be your trusty tool, small and precise for the yarn weight above.
- Next, gather four snap buttons to ensure the sailor top stays neatly in place during all the amigurumi escapades.
- Don’t forget your tapestry needle – it’s an essential mate for weaving in those yarn ends.
- A pair of sharp scissors will be as crucial for snipping threads.
- Lastly, sew the snap buttons with a sewing needle and white thread.
With these supplies at hand, you’re all set to hoist the anchor and set sail on the crochet seas, creating sailor costumes that would make any amigurumi animal proud to wear. Happy crocheting, and may calm waters and steady hands be with you!
How To Crochet Sailor Costume
Alright, let’s get crocheting! Here’s how to crochet the sailor outfit for amigurumi. You can get the full written crochet patterns at the end of this post.
Sailor Costume Top
- Start by crocheting two sleeve parts. Once done, put them aside. These will be attached to the main body part later.
- Now, crochet the body part. Follow the pattern diligently, maintaining even tension throughout. When you reach row 11, it’s time to bring in the sleeves. Join them seamlessly to the body to create a unified look.
- With the main top in place, move on to crocheting the placket, which provides a base for the snap buttons.
- After the sleeves and the body are done, you’ll notice some gaps. Carefully stitch these closed for an invisible seam.
This sailor top works similarly to the Crochet Top pattern we previously shared. You can visit the tutorial there if you need more detailed pictures to visualize the steps.
This is how the sailor top looked like before we added a bit of detail to it.
Let’s give the sailor top the illusion of layering without the actual layers.
It is done by surface crochet along the front neck with slip stitches, adding a faux v-neck design.
Here is the faux layering effect of a V-neckline with a second layer of striped inner blouse.
Inspect your crochet top and clean up your work. Weave in all yarn ends neatly so they’re out of sight and won’t unravel.
Finally, stitch the four small snap buttons onto the placket, evenly spaced and secure.
Sailor Costume Pants
Begin by crocheting two individual leg pieces. Make sure both pieces are identical in size and stitch count to ensure symmetry when you join them.
Once you have your two leg pieces, it’s time to join them to form the pants.
Following the crochet pattern to join leg pieces.
After joining the legs, continue to crochet upwards to complete the pants.
Finish off by weaving in any loose ends, and there you have it—a pair of nautical pants ready to be paired with the sailor top.
Our earlier crochet suspender pants pattern is very similar in construction to these sailor pants. If you would like more visual aids to help you understand the process, you can find the tutorial there.
Sailor Collar
The sailor collar is crocheted from the front ties to the rear flap:
- Begin by crocheting the foundation chain; this will be the base to join the ties together to form the flap. Set aside.
Follow the crochet sailor collar pattern given; crochet two identical strips (as ties) that will sit at the front of the sailor collar. - When both ties are ready, join them to the ends of your foundation chain on your next row of crochet. This will form the beginning of your flap.
- Continue crocheting to complete the flap.
- Crochet a white stripe around the entire edge of the sailor collar.
Lastly, you’ll need to crochet a tie loop. This small but crucial component will allow the sailor collar to be fastened securely.
Sailor Hat
The sailor hat is pretty simple to crochet, and it starts with a magic ring to ensure a snug center with no holes.
The hat is crocheted in spiral rounds in white color and ends with a round of blue rim, giving it a nautical touch.
At Round 20, fold the cuff of the hat outward to create the classic Dixie Cup sailor hat.
And there you have it, fellow crochet captains—a complete sailor costume pattern ready to transform your amigurumi animals into the most adorable crew on the high seas!
With a crisp sailor top, snug pants, a jaunty collar, and that quintessential sailor hat, your little creations are now ready to embark on yarn-filled adventures across the crochet ocean.
May this pattern bring joy to your hands and a sea of smiles to anyone who meets your nautically attired amigurumi. Stitch by stitch, you’ve charted a course through the waves of creativity—now it’s time to set sail and show off that splendid sailor ensemble!
