Manatees (also known as sea cows) are beautiful, gentle sea creatures. This one can be crocheted in merely a day, and only measures 5 inches lengthwise, and would make an excellent gift.

He is made from worsted weight yarn and a 3.5mm crochet hook. However, if you would like a larger or smaller manatee, adjust yarn weight and hook size accordingly.

Gauge does not matter as long as your stitches are tight enough so that stuffing does not poke through.
