The whale bauble dressed up for Halloween and brought its big brother. Sometimes, they’re also known as “whalekins”. If you want to decorate your home for Halloween but still don’t want to pass on whales - this is the way to go!

ABOUT THE PATTERN

The pattern comes as one PDF file with detailed instructions on everything you need to know to crochet the whale pumpkins (big & small version). It can be followed step-by-step and is accompanied by photos for all the trickier parts.

Next to the written pattern, the PDF includes a list of all needed materials & tools, a table of all stitch types/abbreviations required for this pattern, and also a tutorial section with detailed explanations for some of the more unusual used stitches and techniques. The exact yarn colors & skein amounts I used are also included in the pattern.

If you find any typos, mistakes, or unclear parts, please let me know and I’ll do my best to correct & update the pattern!

ABOUT THE FINISHED WHALE PUMPKINS

With the hook size and yarn type I’m using, the big whale pumpkin has a diameter of roughly 9-10cm (only main body without stem and fins). The small whale pumpkin diameter measures roughly 7-8cm.
