No-sew Crochet Whale Free Pattern

"If you, or someone you know, is a fan of ocean animals, you will love this free no-sew Amigurumi whale pattern. It uses very little yarn, making it perfect for using up yarn leftovers. Whales are popular among crafters and are often used as cute and cuddly gifts for kids, for craft markets, or as adorable decor for nurseries and homes. Gather your favorite yarn, preferably bulky chenille yarn, a 3.5 mm (US E) crochet hook, and get started today. I used approximately 36 yards of bulky (5) chenille yarn to make the picture whale. Not a fan of chenille or blanket yarn? That's not a problem. You can use whatever yarn you prefer."
