A knit of Akiak the Walrus. Pattern by Steffi Hochfellner, available at https://carts.ravelry.com/patterns/library/akiak-das-walross---akiak-the-walrus

Knitted in Sandnes Garn Tynn Merinoull (body and clothes) and Filcolana Arwetta (tusks).

Eyes embroidered in metallic effect thread, and I knitted in some white silk sewing thread with the arwetta to add a bit of shine to the tusks.

Not the best photos, but didn'at have my DSLR at hand, and the plush has been given on to its intended owner.

Akiak das Walross / Akiak the Walrus pattern by Steffi Hochfellner

Of course Akiak the walrus does not need a knitted sweater – his fat protects him well from the icy cold north of the polar circle. But then, even a walrus knows a little bit about vanity. Every time he sees his reflection in the water, he is pretty proud of his looks.
