My free crochet walrus pattern is designed to look like the impressive lumbering walrus, but with a cute and cheeky character twist. The bulk of the body is made from single crochets moving from a magic circle, and the defined rear fins were sculpted with chaining. If you’re a complete beginner I recommend checking out my basic techniques page before you launch in, but relatively experienced crocheters should have no trouble crocheting their own walrus using this pattern.

Here’s what you’ll need to complete this pattern:

100g Merino DK red brown yarn
20g cream acrylic DK yarn
5mm crochet hook
4mm crochet hook
Yarn needle
Safety eyes
Toy safe stuffing

This pattern is made in two main sections, with smaller add-ons for the cheeks and front flippers. You’ll usually be working in the red/brown yarn with your 5mm crochet hook, but the tusks will require the acrylic cream yarn and 4mm hook.
