The sequel trilogy introduces fans to many exciting new characters and creatures in the Star Wars universe: Rey, Poe, Finn, BB-8, and, of course, porgs. Residents of the sacred Jedi island on Ahch-To, these puffin-like birds are under a foot tall and covered in feathers, with large webbed feet, huge eyes, and no beak. They have the ability to both swim and fly, and in one memorable scene, they serve as dinner for a hungry Chewbacca.

Porgs were a big hit with fans of all ages, and now you can knit one of your very own. For minimal finishing, the porg’s body, wings, tail, legs, and feet are worked in the round using the Magic Loop method. The belly patch is worked flat, so it can be attached to the body as it is firmly stuffed. The wings, tail, and legs are sewed on at the end, and locking safety eyes ensure this porg is a safe toy for little fans.
