Hey You Guys! by Kathrine Jewell Harris

Hey, Goonies!

Journey with this generous wrap through some of my favorite images from one of my favorite childhood movies! From the crows nest of the pirate ship, down through the ropes and rigging, to the coins in the wishing well, then on to the piano keys, and finally ending with One Eyed Willie’s key, this will keep you entertained and reminiscing about all of your favorite parts of this 80’s classic!

I am on the tight side, gauge wise, so be sure you have enough yarn on hand. I used all but 5g of two 400 yard skeins knitting the sample. I recommend liberal use of stitch markers, as the textures need some attention to follow (particularly the rigging section), though they change enough to keep you engaged the entire knit.

Kick back, engage your inner pirate knitter, and NEVER say die!
