HOW TO MAKE THE WHALE?
Body
Magic ring The magic ring is the first row. We will always work our piece in a spiral, so it is necessary to use the stitch marker at the beginning of each row, so we will never get lost.
With Caricia yarn color 012:
We start working like this:
- 1st Start by crocheting a magic ring of 6 sc.
- 2nd * Crochet 2 sc in each stitch, repeat from * to *, (12 sts)
- 3rd row. * Crochet 1 sc and make 2 sc in the next stitch *, repeat from * to *, (18 sts)
- 4th row. * Crochet 2 sc and 2 sc in the next stitch *, repeat from * to *, (24 sts)
- 5th row. * Crochet 3 sc, and make 2 sc in the next stitch *, repeat from * to *, (30 sts)
- 6th row. * Crochet 4 sc and 2 sc in the next stitch *, repeat from * to *, (36 sts)
- 7th row. * Crochet 5 sc and 2 sc in the next stitch *, repeat from * to *, (42 sts)
- 8th row. * Crochet 6 sc and 2 sc in the next stitch *, repeat from * to *, (48 sts)
- 9th row. * Crochet 7 sc and 2 sc in the next stitch *, repeat from * to *, (54 sts)
- 10th row. * Crochet 8 sc and 2 sc in the next stitch *, repeat from * to *, (60 sts)
- 11th row. * Crochet 9 sc and 2 sc in the next stitch *, repeat from * to *, (66 sts)
- From row 12th to 22nd, crochet without increasing, (66 sts)
With Caricia yarn color No. 501 Continue:
- 23rd row. Crochet the 66 single crochets without increases, but inserting the hook through the center of the chain, this way of crocheting will form a relief that beautifies and highlights the difference between the two colors.
- 24th row. * Crochet 9 sc, 1 dec. *, repeat from * to *, ( 60 sts)
- 25th * Crochet 8 sc, 1 dec. *, repeat from * to *, (54 sts)
- 26th row. * Crochet 7 sc, 1 dec. *, repeat from * to *, (48 sts)
- 27th row. * Crochet 6 sc, 1 dec. *, repeat from * to *, (42 sts)
- 28th row. * Crochet 5 sc, 1 dec. *, repeat from * to *, (36 sts)
- 29th * Crochet 4 sc, 1 dec. *, repeat from * to *, (30 sts)
- 30th row. * Crochet 3 sc, 1 dec. *, repeat from * to *, (24 sts)
- 31st * Crochet 2 sc, 1 dec. *, repeat from * to *, (18 sts)
To make the decreases, I advise you to skip a chain, (1 st unworked). Stuff with fiberfill
- 32nd row. *Crochet 1 sc, 1 dec.*repeat until completing the row. (12 sts).
- 33rd row. *Crochet 1 sc, 1 dec.* repeat (6 sts).
Close the work and leave enough yarn to secure.
Tail
With Caricia yarn No. 012, we make a magic ring of 6 single crochets, and crochet until row 8 in the same way we crocheted the body, until we reach 48 sts. Close and leave a strand. Fold it in half and sew both sides.
Face
See the photo With navy blue Caricia yarn, embroider the eyes, making several short stitches. For the mouth, embroider a big smile with two wide stitches in pink. If you want, put a little blush on the cheeks, you'll see how cheerful it looks!
ASSEMBLY AND FINISHING
Sew the tail centering it on the back of the whale's body, at the boundary between the two colors. Mold it a little and your amigurumi whale is ready for your child to play with! It will be one of their favorite stuffed animals. Give it a name, give it as a gift, and let their imagination run wild.
