Need a fast, cute, and totally stress-free crochet project? You’ll love this no-sew mini whale pattern from Stitch by Fay! It’s the perfect little make when you’re short on time but still want to whip up something handmade. This tiny whale requires zero sewing – just tuck in the yarn tail at the end! It’s ideal for beginners or anyone who wants to avoid piecing parts together. It’s worked in one piece and comes together quickly using DK weight yarn, a 2.5mm hook, and 6mm safety eyes.
The finished whale is palm-sized – about 2.5″ long by 2″ tall – just right for gifts, desk buddies, or market prep. You can even try different yarn weights to play with the size – just adjust your hook accordingly!
