Percy the Pelican

Introducing the charming and hungry pelican knitting pattern, designed by the talented Amanda Berry of @fluffandfuzz. This delightful toy pelican is perfect for both seasoned knitters and confident beginners who want to enhance their crafting skills. Featuring a striking design, this pelican has worked hard fishing for its supper and has successfully caught a fish to proudly carry home in its beak.

Crafted using soft and durable acrylic DK yarns, this pattern is appropriate for knitters who prefer using single pointed needles, as it is not knitted in the round. The pattern mainly employs a stockinette stitch technique, complemented with strategic increases and decreases for shaping the pelican's body. One of the standout features of this pattern is the Kitchener stitch used to finish the pelican’s beak, showcasing an advanced technique that can elevate your knitting abilities.

Participants will learn essential techniques, including casting on and off, knitting and purling, performing increases and decreases, and seaming to complete the project. Whether you are making this pelican as a gift or a delightful addition to your own collection, it promises to be a loving and engaging project.
