Crochet Toy Car (Free Pattern)

I started to make this last January. It took long to finish because, well, I've never made something like this before. This was supposed to have a "Just married" text at the back, but I decided not to include that in case my friend who ordered this doesn't want it now. It's my fault anyway for not completing this early. :(

But anyway, I like the way it looks. My younger sister (who's too old to play with stuffed toys) even played with it and her teddy. There are parts that obviously need improvement. I just hope I'd make better ones next time.

Update: My friend's getting it for his son :) I'll just have to add an embroidered name.

UPDATE 03/23/2012: As requested by Athens, I have transcribed the pattern for this toy car. This is my first time to make a written pattern so I really do hope the directions are understandable, and that the results turn out fine.
