Some dolphin facts:
Dolphins aren’t fish, they are mammals, warm blooded, give birth to live young and feed their calves milk. They breathe air through a blow hole on the top of their body unlike fish who have gills on the sides of their neck area. Dolphins are very social and swim together in large groups called pods. They are very intelligent creatures.

The Narwhal:
Nori is knitted in the round with the magic loop technique, you could also knit him on DPNs, if your prefer. His fins are also knitted in the round.
His eyes have been needle felted on with fleece and a felting needle but you could also use small buttons if this project is not intended for a small child.
Increases in this pattern are made with a kfb, knit into the front and back of a stitch and decreases are made with ssk and knit 2 together. There are tutorials and videos listed if you need assistance with these techniques.
When stuffing your narwhal, if you are knitting with a darker yarn, it is a good idea to use a stuffing that isn’t white, a colourful roving that is a similar colour to the yarn works well. When stuffing Nori, make sure that he is firmly stuffed.

Dimensions:
12.5 inches from the end of his horn to his tail and 4.5 inches tall.

Gauge is not too important when knitting toy patterns but you should ensure that the knitting is tight enough so that the stuffing does not show through. Varying gauges, yarn thicknesses and needle size will change the size of your project.

Narwhals are mammals, they are warm blooded, feed their young and give birth to live young. A baby narwhal is called a calf, males are called bulls and females are called cows. Narwhals cannot sleep for long periods of time because they need to surface in order to breathe. A group of Narwhals is called a pod. Male Narwhals cross their tusks often and this is known as tusking.

The Penguin:
He is knitted in the round with the magic Loop technique. He is knitted on size 4 mm circular needles with DK yarn. His eyes, beak and black stripe on his head are needle felted with fleece and a felting needle.

Measurement:
3.5 inches tall.
