Hello all! as promised i’m here with a free amigurumi pattern for Narwhals. They are tiny, cute and very easy to make. You can skip the tusk and you’ll get a whale. Serves as a two in one pattern!!

So let’s dive into the tutorial without further ado..

Materials needed:
Some acrylic yarn (in your preferred shade and white)
Crochet hook ( according to the size of your yarn)
Poly fiber fill
Tapestry needle
6 mm safety eyes or flatback black beads

The pattern is worked on continuous rounds unless stated otherwise
sc – single crochet
sl st – slip stitch
dc – double crochet
hdc – half double crochet

Assembling:
Attach tail to the Narwhal’s body. I attach them where the color change happens.
Add in fins on either side of Narwhal with 2 or 3 stitches away from eyes.
Finally add in the tusk at row 5 or 6 from top. Attach them at the centre.

You can make this little Narwhal in a few hours and they make lovely key chain or bag charms.
If you wish, you can buy them from my Etsy shop too 🙂
