Albatross is the first pattern in the Summer of Sea Creatures 2020. This year we are highlighting endangered species. Please join us in knitting and raising awareness about these animals. Tag me @yarnigans or #summerofseacreatures on instagram. Thanks for joining me again for this fifth year of summer of sea creatures!

Albatross is knitted in pieces and sewn together. Pipe cleaners give the legs their shape, but if you are making albatross for a baby, just leave these out and let him have floppy legs. Gauge is not important here. I used worsted weight yarn and size 3 needles to make a tight and dense fabric, but if you would like to use thicker or thinner yarn, just size up or down your needles accordingly. You will need to be able to knit in the round to make albatross, as well as do simple increases and decreases.
