Holiday Narwhals
Narwhals; some don’t even know that they exist and some consider them the unicorn of the sea. I think there something that gives that away! Their horn! But did you actually know that it’s not a horn, but rather, a giant tooth! An ivory tusk to be exact. (If you want to learn more about these interesting sea creatures, you can head here to National Geographic to learn more!)
Down below, you will find the free pattern to these mini narhwals! They stand 2 inches tall and are roughly 3.5 inches wide. These little ones are small enough that they can be used as Christmas Ornaments for the tree!
Notes: This pattern was worked in a continuous round, not joined.
