Look at this fun family of whales - baby whale, mama whale and daddy whale - or whatever you want them to be!

These are from about 4” to 7” (for the body/ball part)

You can change the colors and make a bunch of whales!

Fully written out pattern with photos and a good beginner crochet pattern. 7-Page PDF with pattern modifications to make all 3 sizes.

Materials: I have used my size G/4mm hook for most and 4-ply worsted weight yarn like Red Heart and Caron in aqua, pink and blue with some white and light pink on the bottoms. I have used 3 different types of eyes – crochet, buttons and safety eyes so you can pick.

I have also used my size I/5.5mm hook for the fins and tail of the larger blue whale and the same pattern as the pink tail to get a larger size.

-Stuffing. I have used Poly-Fill brand stuffing, but feel free to use what you prefer.

This is such an easy pattern! It is basically a “ball” that you add side fins and a tail. The tail is crocheted in one piece so there is very little sewing/assembly.

There are 3 sizes! These would be fun made in cotton for a baby teething toy or to add rattle boxes inside.

The small guy measures about 4” – the pink about 5” and the large about 7”. This does not include the tail – that is just the round body.

I do have lots of tips and tricks and give you where/what round I have everything placed.

If you have amigurumi knowledge and know how to work in the round - ex. 6,12,18,24 etc with increases and decreases you won’t have any trouble.

If you are a beginner, this should still be a very easy pattern - I spell out all the increases and decreases.

I am here all to help and support you in any way I can after you download my pattern.

I would love to see your whales made from this pattern so please tag me on IG @theburgundybasket
