Narwh-à-la Mode: the sweetest ice cream narwhal you’ll ever meet!

This plush narwhal is slowly melting into a rainbow sherbet scoop, with a two-tone waffle cone for a horn and drippy rainbow drops sliding down his side. He’s squishy and a little silly, and he makes a great gift, shelf buddy or craft fair showstopper.

Finished size
Approx. 6” tall, 4” wide and 9” long using worsted weight yarn and a 3.5 mm hook.

Skill level
Advanced beginner / Intermediate. You’ll need to be comfortable working in the round and sewing pieces together with a mattress stitch.

What you’ll make

• A chubby, asymmetrical narwhal body with shaped tail flukes
• A two-color spiral waffle cone, worked in back loops only for clean color changes
• A rainbow ice cream scoop with chained drips, sewn onto the body
• Two little fins
• Embroidered navy eyes and a pink chalk pastel blush (no safety eyes needed)

Techniques
Magic circle, increases and decreases, sc, hdc, dc, color changes in the round/two color spiral, joined rounds for shaping, mattress stitch, blanket stitch and embroidery.
