Step by step Pattern
Body:
- Start with the magic ring. With the main color yarn, make a magic ring and crochet 6 sc into the ring. Pull the magic ring tight to close.
- Increase. In the next round, crochet 2 sc in each stitch around (12 sc total).
- Continue crocheting in rounds. In the next round, crochet 1 sc in the first stitch, then 2 sc in the next stitch. Repeat this around, crocheting 1 sc in one stitch and 2 sc in the next, until you have completed the round (18 sc total).
- Continue increasing. Crochet 2-3 more rounds of 18 sc each.
- Shape the body. In the next round, crochet 9 sc, 2 sc in the next stitch, 9 sc, 2 sc in the next stitch. Continue around, increasing one stitch at each end of the "bump" (22 sc total).
- Continue crocheting in rounds without increasing. Crochet 5-7 rounds of 22 sc each.
- Stuff the body. Gently stuff the body with stuffing until it is firm but still soft.
- Decrease. Crochet 3-4 rounds, decreasing by 1 stitch each round. To make a decrease, crochet the two stitches together as one sc.
Tail:
- With the main color yarn, chain 10-12 stitches. (Adjust length based on desired size)
- Single crochet all the way down the chain.
- Continue crocheting in rows, turning at the end of each row. In each row, decrease by 1 stitch at each end until you have 2 stitches remaining.
- Slip stitch the remaining 2 stitches together.
- Repeat steps 1-4 to make the other half of the tail.
- Sew the two halves of the tail together along the long edge.
Flukes:
- With the white yarn, chain 8-10 stitches. (Adjust length based on the desired size)
- Single crochet all the way down the chain.
- Chain 3 and turn.
- Single crochet all the way down the chain, decreasing by 1 stitch at each end.
- Repeat steps 3 and 4 until you have a fluke of the desired size.
- Make another fluke the same way.
- Sew the flukes to the back of the tail, positioning them on either side.
Belly:
- With the white yarn, chain the same number of stitches as the widest part of the body.
- Single crochet all the way down the chain.
- Continue crocheting in rows, turning at the end of each row and decreasing by 1 stitch at each end until you have a piece that fits snugly against the underside of the body.
- Sew the belly piece to the body.
Head:
- Start with the magic ring. With the main color yarn, make a magic ring and crochet 6 sc into the ring. Pull the magic ring tight to close.
- Increase. In the next round, crochet 2 sc in each stitch around (12 sc total).
- Continue crocheting in rounds, increasing one stitch at the beginning of each round until you have 18 sc total.
- Continue crocheting in rounds without increasing. Crochet 3-4 rounds of 18 sc each.
- Stuff the head. Gently stuff the head with stuffing until it is firm but still soft.
- Shape the snout. Crochet 2-3 rounds, decreasing by 1-2 stitches each round at the end where the snout forms.
Eyes:

Crochet No Sew Humpback Whale Pattern
Uses: This humpback whale mini-model is a fantastic item that quickly and elegantly works into an adorable piece. Beginners and experts will appreciate the user-friendly instructions. Its handy size, about 8cm when finished, makes it a swift project to complete, provided you have the right materials.
Materials:
- DK yarn
- 3mm Crochet hook
Making: We mainly need a 3mm hook, scissors, stitch markers, needle, stuffing, and 12mm safety eyes to create the crochet no-sew humpback whale. The crocheting process starts with creating a magic circle and putting six single crochet. Double crochet and triple crochet patterns are used for the fin, while half-double crochet, double crochet and triple crochet together serve for tail creation. After completing the base in blue, we changed to white to work on the belly, shifting our attention to crocheting in the back loop only. Following the provided pattern, we proceed with creating invisible decreases strategically placed in our project. Pattern completion: the remaining hole is seamlessly sewn up using the yarn end. The final step involves stuffing to give the whale its cute, plump form.
Crochet Baby Humpback Whale Pattern
Uses: Creating a crochet baby humpback whale, a soft, cuddly companion perfect for little hands to hold. This charming project brings the ocean's wonders into your home, offering a unique way to share a love of marine life with your loved ones. The tail is carefully designed with a combination of stitches to give it just the right curve, ensuring the final piece is as close to a humpback whale's shape as possible.
Materials:
- Aran yarn
- 4mm Crochet hook
Making: The crochet whale pattern worked in rows, starting with creating a curved piece for the top and then a separate curved piece for the bottom, thereby eliminating the top and bottom seam from traditional whale crocheting. Each row of the crochet pattern is folded in half and sewn together at the nose to create the front seam. This method develops a more exaggerated shape to counter any stretching, thereby maintaining the facial integrity of the whale. This tail is crocheted as part of the top and bottom pieces, combining double crochet stitches and slip stitches to create a slight curve and characteristic divot in the tail's center. Once all the major pieces (the top, bottom, and fins) are complete, it's time to start sewing and stuffing. Also, note that the fins are attached as part of the body, instead of being attached afterward.
