Pablo the Puffin

I have long dreamed of going to see the puffins off the coast of Wales in person so when my husband gave me this sweet card for our anniversary, I couldn’t resist transforming the illustration into an amigurumi toy. The pattern is mainly worked in **continuous rounds**, unless otherwise stated, so you will need to use st markers to help you keep track of your st count. The legs, body and head are all worked in **one piece** from the **bottom up**, and then the wings, beak and feet are crocheted separately. Patterns for Pablo’s little **scarf and fish** are also included to **complete his look**. While the stitches themselves are all fairly basic, there is a fair bit of colourwork involved so **maintaining good tension** and **keeping your stitches from twisting** too much is important. This pattern is therefore most suitable for **intermediate** crocheters. A **stitch guide** (including **video links**) and **photo tutorial** throughout will help you to visualise the different techniques used and clarify what you’ll be doing at each stage.
