Giant toy seagull

Introducing Solomon C. Gull, the charming seagull pattern that’s perfect for knitting enthusiasts of all levels. Measuring an impressive 54 cm long, this delightful design adds a whimsical touch to any collection. Solomon has a particular fondness for boats—especially fishing boats—and can often be spotted gazing dreamily out to sea, making him a wonderful project for those who love nautical themes.

With our downloadable knitting pattern, you can create your very own Solomon C. Gull right at home! This pattern is not only fun but also provides an opportunity to enhance your knitting skills. The entire piece is crafted using garter stitch, offering a satisfying texture and playful character. Throughout the pattern, you’ll engage in various techniques such as increasing, decreasing, casting on, and casting off to shape the body. The wings feature an innovative garter stitch intarsia method, which cleverly hides any joins from the right side for a seamless appearance. Additionally, Solomon’s adorable feet are shaped using short-row techniques, while his legs are crafted as i-cord—a unique detail that adds to his charm!

If you're new to knitting, there’s no need to worry! This all-ability pattern is designed to be approachable, and many novice knitters have successfully made their own Solomon C. Gull.

One of the great benefits of this pattern is its quick-knit appeal. Solomon is made using super chunky yarn, so you'll see your progress in no time. For this project, we used DROPS Eskimo yarn, but you can also opt for other comparable yarns such as Schoeller und Stahl Filzi to achieve excellent results.
