This delightful knitting pattern is perfect for knitters of all skill levels. Whether you are a first-time knitter or an experienced toy maker, I designed this pattern to ensure a fun and enjoyable knitting experience for everyone!

Sample Information: The Worsted Weight sample requires approximately 40 grams of yarn and measures 8 inches from head to tail, featuring 18mm safety eyes for an adorable look. Alternatively, the Fingering/Sock Weight sample uses about 15 grams of yarn and measures 4 inches, using smaller 12mm eyes for a cute, petite version. Both variations provide unique options for your next knitting project!

This project is knit entirely in the round, using simple increases and decreases to create charming shapes. Purl stitches are strategically placed to clearly mark the eye and fin placements, making it easier than ever to achieve precise finishing with minimal effort. You’ll love how straightforward this pattern makes toy knitting!

Gauge: You can use any size yarn for this pattern as long as you adjust your needle size accordingly. It is crucial to create a dense fabric to prevent the polyfil stuffing from poking through. For best results, choose a needle that is at least 1 or 2 sizes smaller than the smallest needle size recommended on the yarn label. This will help you achieve the tight stitch tension needed for a durable finished product.

Get ready to unleash your creativity with this versatile and enjoyable toy knitting pattern, suitable for a variety of yarns and skill levels. Happy knitting!
