The moon is out, and Stargazer Narwhal is looking up at the night sky exploring the constellations. Now where was the one that looks like a narwhal again?..

The pattern is written in US crochet terms, with step by step photos to help along the way. The mouth is shaped when making the body, the tail is worked seamlessly with the body at the end. The toys is finished with subtle gold embroidery along the horn and a starry constellation on the back for a bit of sparkle - adding a star sign to the back would make it a lovely newborn gift (separate pdf with with constellations included).

When made in DK weight cotton yarn and 3.5mm (E) hook the finished Narwhal is about 29cm/11inches tall from tip of the horn to the tail.
