This pattern is for a knitted and felted killer whale (orca), which will measure about 11” long when completed. It uses half a skein of Lopi in Black (#0059) or Midnight Blue (#0709) plus a small amount of white (#0051). Other bulky yarns may be used but please knit and felt a test swatch first. You will also need size 11 needles, polyester fiberfill, and two 9mm safety eyes. This pattern requires knowledge of the following techniques: knit (k), purl (p), make 1 (m1), decrease/knit 2 together (k2tog), and two color knitting following a chart.

The instructions are written out row by row; the colorwork is on an accompanying chart.
