The sample is beautifully made using 8 ply/DK yarn, but feel free to get creative! You can easily opt for worsted weight or 12 ply yarn to make a bigger, more impressive toy. To get started, gather approximately the following yarn amounts: 60 grams of white 8 ply/DK yarn, 20 grams of pale pink 8 ply/DK yarn, 35 grams of black 8 ply/DK yarn, and 10 grams of grey 8 ply/DK yarn. A small amount of yellow yarn is also needed, along with additional small amounts of various colors (yellow, grey, orange, black, and white) for the fish. Choose any colors you like – the possibilities are endless!

In addition to the yarn, you'll need a few extra materials for your pelican project: 4 chenille sticks to stiffen his beak, a 1 cm / 1/2” triangle of Velcro, and lockable stitch markers to keep your work organized. Whether you're a seasoned knitting expert or just starting out, this fun and creative pattern will make for a rewarding project.
