Barry the Puffin

Meet Barry the Puffin, your new favorite knitting project! Barry is an adorable and sweet puffin who loves nothing more than a warm cuddle and a hearty supply of fish to keep him happy. Standing at 16cm / 6 inches tall, he’s the perfect size to fit snugly in your hand, making him an ideal companion for both kids and adults alike. Are you wondering, "Is Barry easy to knit?" Absolutely! This delightful puffy friend is knitted flat on a pair of 4mm (UK 8/ US 6) knitting needles, which makes him a fantastic choice for beginners. You won’t need to knit in the round, making it much simpler to get started on your first knitting adventure. To make Barry, you’ll need DK yarns in five vibrant shades—perfect for bringing this charming puffin to life. We provide yarn suggestions along with the knitting pattern to help you choose the best materials. Basic knitting skills, such as stocking stitch, increasing by knitting into the front and back of a stitch (inc 1), and decreasing by knitting two stitches together (k2tog), are all you need to get started. Our comprehensive knitting pattern comes complete with detailed instructions for assembly and an array of colorful photos to guide you every step of the way. Whether you’re looking to expand your knitting skills or create a cuddly gift for someone special, Barry the Puffin is an enjoyable and rewarding project. Dive into the world of knitting today with our free and paid patterns, and let Barry brighten your crafting experience!
