Pippa the Puffin

Meet Pippa the Puffin, a sweet knitted bird with a bobble hat to keep them warm on fishing trips. There is no tricky colour-work to master in this pattern as the puffin’s chest and eye panels are knit separately and sewn on. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the puffin is knit in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). The puffin is 18cm tall without the hat, and 23cm with the hat. For confident beginners and above, other techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, and seaming to finish.
