Blue Whale
Introducing the Blue Whale, the first captivating pattern in the highly anticipated Summer of Sea Creatures series for 2019! This year, our theme proudly showcases “The Biggest Animals in the Ocean,” and we invite you to dive into the fun. Join our knitting community on Instagram by sharing your project photos and tagging them with #summerofseacreatures for a chance to be featured!
Did you know that real blue whales are the largest animals on the planet, regularly reaching lengths of up to 100 feet? While our adorable knitted whale is a much more manageable size at just under 2 feet long, he's undoubtedly the perfect companion for snuggles and playtime. If you're looking to conserve some of your polyfil stash, consider crafting this whale using a lighter weight yarn along with smaller needles for a more delicate finish.
To create your own Blue Whale, you will need a fundamental understanding of basic knitting techniques, including increases and decreases, and the ability to knit seamlessly in the round using double-pointed needles. For this project, you’ll require approximately two balls of your main color (MC) in blue and less than one ball of your contrasting color (CC) in white. Whether you're an experienced knitter or a passionate beginner, this delightful pattern will allow you to express your creativity while celebrating the majesty of the ocean's most magnificent creatures!
Don't miss your chance to work on this fun and rewarding knitting project! Download the Blue Whale pattern today and join the Summer of Sea Creatures journey—create your own piece of ocean-inspired art that friends and family will adore!
