Narwhals are my favourite of the
'mythical' beasts, mostly because they are real - I love that they are so implausible! My celebration of the narwhal, the Unicorn of the Sea Sweater, which features a cheeky-looking narwhal, was released via I Like Knitting magazine, and is now available as an individual pattern from my Ravelry store.
The Unicorn of the Sea Sweater is knitted flat
from the bottom up in sections that are seamed before adding the
neckline in the round. The jumper is knitted in stocking stitch with
2 x 2 ribbing for the cuffs, hem and neckline and the narwhal motif is
added using the intarsia technique. The pattern is written in 6 sizes: 2 (4, 6, 8, 10, 12) years and is designed to fit with 5 cm [2 inches] of
positive ease.**
The jumper is knitted in Stylecraft Life DK,*
which is one of my favourite basic yarns. The yarn is 75% acrylic and
25% wool, and is machine washable, so you don't need to be precious
about the jumper getting washed and worn over and over again.
The Unicorn of the sea jumper pattern is available now from my Ravelry store, and from now until 11.59pm BST, Saturday 25th August 2018 you can have 25% off the pattern, no code needed.

**Yes, I have added an extra size compared to the magazine pattern, perfect for slightly larger narwhal lovers!
