The Wellness Caravan Structure
The main shell of the caravan requires sturdy, tight stitches. You will use your 3.5mm hook and worsted weight yarn. If your tension is loose, consider going down a hook size to ensure the walls remain rigid.
The Main Floor Base
Use the 3.5mm hook and beige worsted weight yarn. The floor is worked in flat, back-and-forth rows to create a large rectangular foundation.
Row 1: Chain 46. Starting in the second chain from your hook, work 1 sc in each chain across. You will have 45 stitches. Chain 1 and turn your work.
Rows 2 to 24: Work 1 sc in each stitch across. Chain 1 and turn at the end of each row. Ensure your edges remain perfectly straight. Fasten off the beige yarn.
Measure this finished crocheted rectangle. Cut a piece of rigid plastic canvas slightly smaller than this piece. You will place this underneath the floor during assembly to keep the caravan from bowing.
The Lower Pink Walls
Switch to the light pink worsted weight yarn. Continue using the 3.5mm hook. We will now build the lower half of the walls by working around the perimeter of the beige floor.
Round 1: Join the light pink yarn at any corner of the floor. Chain 1. Work sc evenly around the entire rectangular edge. Place 3 sc in each of the four corners to turn cleanly. Join with a sl st to the first sc.
Round 2: To create a sharp, flat edge at the bottom, work 1 sc in each stitch around in the Back Loops Only (BLO). Do not increase at the corners for this round. Join with a sl st.
Rounds 3 to 14: Working in both loops normally, work 1 sc in each stitch around. You are now working in a continuous spiral. Place a stitch marker at the beginning of the round.
At the end of round 14, your lower pink tub is complete. Fasten off the light pink yarn and weave in the end securely.
The Upper Cream Walls
Change to the cream worsted weight yarn. We will build the upper walls, leaving a massive opening on the front side to display the interior spa.
Row 15: Join the cream yarn to the back right corner. Working in the Back Loops Only (BLO) to create a subtle ridge, work sc along the right wall, across the back wall, and along the left wall. Leave the entire front section unworked. Chain 1 and turn.
Rows 16 to 32: Work back and forth in rows along this U-shape. Work 1 sc in each stitch across. Chain 1 and turn at the end of every row.
Rows 33 to 38: We will now curve the roof inward. At the beginning and end of each row, work a sc decrease (dec). Work standard sc in all the middle stitches. Fasten off the cream yarn.

The Pop-Up Roof Awning

Row 1: Chain 42. Sc in the second chain from the hook and each chain across. (41 sts). Chain 1, turn.
Rows 2 to 22: Work 1 sc in each stitch across. Chain 1 and turn at the end of each row. The panel should be large enough to cover the top opening of the caravan.
Awning Border: Switch to light pink yarn. Work 1 sc evenly around the entire perimeter of the cream panel, placing 3 sc in the corners. Fasten off. Sew the back edge of this panel to the top back edge of the caravan walls so it can hinge open.

Finally, check all facial features on your characters; ensure the safety eyes are straight and the embroidered noses convey a gentle, peaceful expression.

Care Notes
Keep your wellness caravan displayed in a shaded, dry area. Direct sunlight will quickly bleach the pastel pink and light blue yarns. Due to the cardboard inserts in the furniture and the delicate 1.5mm hook details, this piece should never be washed in a machine or fully submerged in water. Handle the tiny bottles and tea set pieces with clean hands to avoid transferring oils onto the yarn.
Quick Checklist Before You Finish
Before stepping back to admire your work, review these final points: Is the awning securely attached and sitting evenly? Are all the tiny hot stones and bottles glued down securely so they won’t fall out when moved? Are the yarn tails on the striped pajamas fully hidden? Does the umbrella stand completely upright?
Detailed Cleaning and Preservation Guidelines
To preserve the pristine look of this spa scene, house it inside an acrylic display box to completely shield it from household dust. If the piece is kept out in the open, use a clean, dry, soft-bristled makeup brush once a month to gently dust the crevices of the lotus flowers and shelves. For minor smudges on the cream caravan walls, slightly dampen a cotton swab with cold water and a microscopic drop of mild detergent, gently dab the stain without rubbing, and allow it to air dry immediately.
