Otters Gone Fishing

This pair of furry fishermen are “otterly” adorable and make the perfect playmates for wildlife fans or fishermen! The knitting pattern for these seamed otters includes instructions for the fish, too; sew one between the paws once the otter has been sewn up and stuffed, and suspend the other from a fishing rod made from a bamboo skewer. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the otters are knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round). For confident beginners and above, techniques used include casting on and off, knits, purls, increases and decreases, knitting stripes, and seaming to finish.
