Marine Life - 2 Whales

I decided to make some little amigurumi whales because, after looking through all my designs thus far, I saw that I hadnt used any of my blue yarn. So I grabbed my hook and a skein of blue and started crocheting. And the micro whale pattern was born! I kept it simple to pander to my own short attention span. With such an easy pattern I can start and finish one of these whales in about a half hour.

Im not about to hog all the whale love though. your own! S " # # $ S % $ & ' A % $ ( I A ) S! * Worsted weight yarn in two +,- colors such as!
