Yes they sound like mythical creatures but these little guys (the ‘unicorns of the sea’) are definitely real, if a little less round in real life…

This knitting pattern is to make cuddly narwhal toys in the softest yarn I could find. Seriously snuggly!

You’ll need to know how to cast on and off, knit, purl, increase and decrease. She is worked on straight needles so NO knitting in the round is needed.

(You’ll be able to make TWO narwhal toys from the suggested yarn)

To knit your narwhal toys you will need:

• A little under half a ball of James C Brett Flutterby Chunky in Aqua (colour code B46) for each narwhal OR an equivalent yarn.
• Very small amount of James C Brett Flutterby Chunky in Ginger Fox (colour code B51) for the horn (or equivalent alternative)
• 6mm straight knitting needles
• Toy stuffing
• Darning needle
• A small amount of Black DK yarn for the eyes

Narwhals measure 23cm long and 20cm tall when completed.
