How To Crochet Kissing Whales
Materials Needed:
- 5-ply Milk Cotton Yarn (Colors: White, Pink, and Blue)
- 3mm Crochet Hook
- Darning Needle
- Stitch Marker
- Scissors
- 6mm Safety Eyes
- Stuffing
- Magnets (10mm wide and 5mm thick)
- Keychain
- Metal Letters
- Pliers
Whale Body:
Starting with the Base (Using White Yarn):
- Magic Ring: Wrap yarn around two fingers twice to form loops. Insert the hook under the first loop, grab the second loop, twist, and secure to create the magic ring.
- Round 1: Six single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Use a stitch marker to mark the first stitch.
- Round 2: Increase by making two sc in each stitch from Round 1 (total of 12 stitches).
- Round 3: Single crochet increase, followed by a single crochet – repeat this pattern for the whole round.
- Rounds 4-8: One sc in each stitch around without increases, continuing with white yarn for rounds 4 and 5, then changing to pink or blue yarn to complete up to round 8 for the body color.
Adding Features:
- Eyes: Attach 6mm safety eyes approximately five stitches apart, two rounds above where the color changes from white to pink/blue.
- Magnet: Place a magnet between the eyes using glue to keep it in position.
Closing the Body:
- Decreases: Start decreasing by single crocheting two stitches together (sc2tog) around the circle to close up the body.
- Final Closing: Once the opening is small enough, cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Using a darning needle, weave through the remaining stitches and pull to close. Secure and weave in end.
Fins and Tail:
- Fins (Make 2): Chain 2, then single crochet into the second chain from the hook. Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing.
- Tail (Make 2): Start with a magic ring, make two sc and then a double crochet (dc) into the ring. Close the magic ring and fasten off, leaving a tail for attaching to the body.
Assembly:
- Attach the fins and tails to each side of the whale body using the yarn tails and a darning needle.
- Stuff the whale before completely closing the body, ensuring not to overstuff.
Final Touches:
- Blush: Use pink yarn to add blush just below the eyes by threading through and tying off inside the body.
- Keychain & Letters: Attach metal letters to the keychain and then attach the keychain to the top of the whale.
Notes:
- Ensure the magnets align when the whales are placed together so they "kiss."
- Customize the whales with additional accessories or different yarn colors as desired.
