We’re excited to have you with us for this fifth year of the Summer of Sea Creatures initiative!

The Beluga Sturgeon is designed to be knitted mostly in one continuous piece, making it a delightful project for knitters of all skill levels. The pectoral fins are crafted separately and then sewn onto the body for a realistic finish. To successfully create this charming piece, you will need to be comfortable knitting with double pointed needles, as well as performing basic increases and decreases. While the gauge isn't strictly critical for this pattern, I found that knitting mine extra tight was beneficial; this ensures you can stuff it firmly for a lovely, plump finish. A tighter gauge will yield the best results, creating a beautiful representation of this magnificent fish.

By participating in this knitting project, you're not only honing your skills but also contributing to the conservation efforts surrounding the endangered Beluga Sturgeon. Grab your yarn and needles, let's knit for a cause, and create something that not only showcases your talent but also spreads awareness about these extraordinary marine animals. Happy knitting!
