The term whauble merges the two words “whale” and “bauble” into just one simple word that perfectly describes my round whale designs. With this pattern, you can crochet three types of whauble accessories, depending on the yarn weight and hook size: a keychain, a purse, and a pouch. Choose your favorite whauble accessory to keep you company!
