The king of the ocean, this whale is crocheted in two shades of blue to match the waves. He’s also rather squishy and super cute!

You will need:

  • Any chunky weight chenille yarn, 150m of each: dark blue, light blue
  • Small amounts of each: pink, black
  • 2 safety eyes, 12mm
  • A sheet of stiff plastic, 50x50cm (optional)
  • Toy stuffing
  • A stitch marker

If you are making this as a toy for a child under 36 months, do not use safety eyes; instead, embroider eyes using black yarn.
