Tommy Toucan

Tommy the Toucan is an adorable, cuddly toy with a vibrant and colorful beak that will delight knitters and children alike. This delightful knitting pattern incorporates a charming design with short row shaping, featuring wraps and turns to create a wonderfully textured look. The pattern also includes instructions for making i-cord toes, adding an extra touch of whimsy to Tommy's feet. Designed by talented knitting designer Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, this toucan is knitted using soft acrylic DK yarns on single-pointed needles, making it a great project for those who prefer traditional flat knitting techniques (as opposed to working in the round).

This pattern is ideal for confident beginners and above, providing an excellent opportunity to practice and refine essential knitting skills. Along with short row shaping and i-cord techniques, you will learn to cast on and off, knit and purl, make increases and decreases, create beautiful knitting stripes, and seamlessly seam pieces together to complete your cuddly creation. Whether you're looking for a fun project for yourself or a unique gift for a loved one, Tommy the Toucan is sure to be a cherished addition to any toy collection.
