Vera the Blue Whale is part of Project Arctic. In Project Arctic I crochet different animals that live on or around the poles. They may live on the ice, in the air or in the water. What makes those animals special, is that many of them have a very different appearance when they’re young compared to when they are grown up. And that is very nice to crochet!

Blue whales are the largest animals on the planet. They can grow to a staggering 30m and weigh up to 160 tonnes. That is similar to a jumbojet! These whales cross our oceans and come North for their favorite food: krill.

Size
Blue Whale Vera is about 32 cm long and 13 cm wide.
