Narwhal Crochet Pattern
Body, tail and side fins:
Crochet these parts with pink yarn using the Blue Whale Amigurumi Pattern.
Hi is there a tutorial on how to crochet these beautiful toys, I’m a beginner and struggle to read the patterns
Thank you for allow me to learn.
What weight yarn is the Fine (4 ply) semi-cotton yarn Yarnart Jeans?
Thank you very much for sharing this beautiful pattern.
I chose on making a variation, instead of the felt eye-white I used some white yarn and did as follows:
1. Rd: 6 sc in magic ring [6]
2. Rd: (inc) repeat 6 times [12]
then placed the safety eye off centre and attached it to the whale. Looks cute as well.
Hi, i would like to know if i can sell the whale amigurumi i make? not online, just locally. im a part time crocheter and love making toys. i also really love your patterns!
You can sell finished toys, but no more than 50 items per month.
