Oh Whale! is a fun stuffy, designed to be cuddled and played with!

It is easy to knit, while still incorporating interesting stitch dynamics.

If you can do basic increases and decreases, you should be able to do this pattern!
Short rows are utilized, but a detailed description is provided, for those who may not be familiar with it.

The face and body of the whale are knit in one piece, and the side fins are knitted separately and attached.
It is designed to be stuffed as is it knit to help ensure proper form is achieved.

Note! The yarn I used had some orange dye to give it the striping effect. This pattern does NOT contain stripes.
I just thought it would be fun yarn to use :)
