Penguin sweaters, also known as penguin jumpers,^[1] are sweaters which are knitted for penguins that are caught in oil slicks.^[2] When an oil spill affects penguins they are dressed in knitted sweaters to stop thempreening their feathers and to keep them warm, since the spilled oil destroys their natural oils. This prevents them poisoning themselves by ingesting the oil.

Knitters: Here is one knitted sweater pattern via the Tasmanian Conservation Trust.
