Purling for penguins

The story is old and hard to believe: knit a sweater for a penguin! Of course, it couldn't be true...except it is!

Although penguin sweaters are no longer needed, the pattern is still available. It isn't every day you come across these instructions: "Stitch up sides to decreasing to 27sts (opening for flipper). Add elastic to the top and bottom to prevent the penguins getting out of them."

Truth really is stranger than fiction...
