〰️ A warm whale-come for your newest sea friend

The Wheat Stitch™ Crochet Whale is a super cute, textured amigurumi made with Wheat Stitch™. It’s worked in the round and packed with personality, and it comes together swimmingly.

It’s part of the Hooked on the Sea collection of six ocean animal amigurumi, all made with Wheat Stitch. Every whale needs a splash of flair, so this one comes with an adorable little water spout.
