Knit your own toy puffin with this easy-to-follow pattern!
 
NOTE this is for the puffin knitting pattern. For the ready made toy click here. 
 
One of my favourite memories is the first time I saw colourful puffins dotted around the cliffs of Newfoundland – their bright beaks and busy little waddling legs were unforgettable!
 
This is an updated version from my original puffin pattern:
Simplified instructions
New, detailed step-by-step photography
Modified beak construction
 
This will work fine with any Aran or Worsted yarn in the suitable colours, but I recommend Briggs and Little Heritage as a nice East Coast Canada tie-in :)
 
The knitting pattern includes:
List of materials, list of skills (with links to tutorials), detailed write-up of every step, images and notes to help with reading.
 
Skills required:
Knit stitch
Purl stitch
Knitting in the round (written for DPNs but can also use Magic Loop)
Increasing stitches (Kfb)
Decreasing stitches (K2tog, skpo)
