This dump truck is full of great details like a tipping dumper and working tailgate. Don’t forget to make a whole pile of rocks to fill up the back of this truck or else you might find your yarn skeins being hauled about instead (speaking from experience!).

Errata - back wall of dumper has incorrect number of worked stitches listed (it should be 14 and not 21)

Back wall:
Row 1: (Sl st, ch 1, sc 1) in front loop of PM stitch to re-attach yarn. Cont working in fl, sc 13. Count 2 st ahead of hook and pm. Turn work (14 sts)
Rows 2-12: Ch 1, sc 14 and turn. (14 sts)
(begin “canopy” section of dumper wall)
Row 13: Ch 1. In bl, sc 14 and turn. (14 sts)
Rows 14-15: Ch 1, sc 14 and turn. (14 sts)
Row 16: Ch 1, In bl, sc 14 and turn. (14 sts)
Row 17: Ch 1, In fl, sc 14 and turn. (14 sts)
