With her adorable face and simple shape, this sweet Beluga whale is sure to brighten everyone’s day. Knit in the round, and stuffed as you go along, this project works up quickly and would make a lovely gift for a baby, toddler, or anyone really. (My nine and eleven year old keep asking when they are getting theirs!) Zoe is a wonderful alternative to a store-bought stuffed toy.
