Introducing Lundi the Puffin Snuggler. This playful plushie works up quickly and shows off all of the puffin characteristics: bright and colourful beak, soft white squishy belly, beautiful head shape, orange knotted legs and flappy wings!

Detailed instructions written with step-by-step photos to guide you
Quick and easy to make

The pattern uses a few interesting techniques to bring in the shaping and colourwork while keeping the sewing to the minimum. It combines the body, belly, wings, and legs into one seamless piece, minimising sewing and maximising the joy of creation. The only sewing required is attaching the bright beak to the head and then joining the head to the body. Tips for working with chenille yarn are provided, but you can make your puffin in any yarn you’d like.
