I designed this little orca after a visit to the aquarium with my niece — we both fell in love with how majestic and joyful they look when they leap! This motif works beautifully on baby blankets, kids' sweaters or ocean-themed projects. I recommend using soft DK yarns with high contrast to bring the orca to life.
