MAKE: Blog: Knit a Nautie

Knit a Nautie

We're ready to knit ourselves a Nautie. This free pattern up on Knitty states, "For almost 500 million years, nautiloids were the coolest kids around. They ate trilobites, had shells in a variety of fantastical shapes, and ranged from bite-size to 12 feet long. Every scary prehistoric beast should be made into a huggable toy, and I say it's the nautiloid's turn. With this pattern you can make one in an evening, in easy stockinette on dpns." [ via ] Link.

They have a living one of these in the Waikiki Aquarium. Probably one of the coolest things I have ever seen in a aquarium.
