Meet our adorable Jumping Dolphin. He’s cute, cuddly and very lovable.

This Jumping Dolphin is suitable for advanced beginner knitters and assumes an understanding of basic stitches, short rows and standard knitting terms. Our Jumping Dolphin is knit flat and sewn together using a mattress stitch.

If you’re new to knitting stuffed friends, or are uncomfortable winging it without strict guidelines (that’s OK, we all need good directions sometimes to help us out) you will need approximately 40 m of medium weight blue yarn. With this yarn, use 4 mm (US size 6) needles. You will also need a small amount of black yarn for embroidering the face, stuffing (we use ecofil or wool) and a tapestry needle to sew your dolphin together. This will let you create a dolphin that’s approximately 15 cm (6 inches) in length.

The beauty of knitting stuffed friends is that this pattern can be knit in any size yarn with accompanying needles. Generally we find using a size or two smaller needles than required by the yarn allows for the tightness needed when you’re stuffing your finished product.

Keep in touch! We’d love to hear from you.
