Puffling
There is something incredibly endearing about Puffins, particularly their adorable chicks, known as Pufflings. This delightful knitted Puffin pattern allows you to create your very own Puffin, featuring detailed separate sections that include the body, head, feet/legs, wings, patches, and beak. You'll be able to craft each part either flat, in the round, or by picking up stitches, and then sew them all together for a charming final product. Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting, this project offers great versatility.
The beak of the Puffin features a fun colorwork section to showcase your skills, but if you prefer simplicity, it can also be knitted in a single color without compromising on style. All instructions are meticulously written to ensure clarity, and we offer a supplementary chart for the beak design, allowing you to choose the method that suits you best.
