Odie, the sea otter
Introducing Odie, the adorable sea otter knitting pattern! This charming toy is created in several interconnecting pieces, making it a delightful project for knitters of all skill levels. To begin crafting your own Odie, start with the head, then either pick up stitches for the body directly from the bottom of the head or knit the body separately and sew it onto the head at the end. The legs are knitted directly from the body for added ease of construction. To add the finishing touches, the ears, tail, and arms are knitted individually and sewn on to complete this cuddly creature.
As a fun addition, Odie’s swim trunks are knitted separately, allowing for a customizable look, and his playful fish friend is knitted in one seamless piece from head to tail, making it an engaging project to accompany the otter.
The pictured Odie is skillfully knitted with yarn held double, giving it a stunning marled effect that adds dimension and texture. For those who prefer a lighter option, using a single strand of yarn is an excellent alternative and can create a different yet equally charming finish.
Finished Toy Size: Odie measures approximately 17” (43.5 cm) tall from head to toes when knitted with double-held yarn, and stands at about 12.5” (32 cm) tall when using a single strand. This makes Odie the perfect size for both display and play! Whether you’re making this delightful sea otter as a gift or a cherished keepsake for yourself, this pattern is sure to provide hours of enjoyable crafting.
