Being able to increase and decrease stitches is important to shape the plushie correctly, giving it a rounded, bubble-like appearance. Lastly, you should have some basic sewing skills to attach eyes, fins, and spout.

Crochet A Bubble Whale Plushie Tutorial

The crochet tutorial at the end provides comprehensive details for crocheting the bubble whale plushie for beginners. Here is a quick overview of the bubble whale guide:

Creating the Tail & Fins: Using the main body colour, start by making eight single crochets in a magic ring to form each fin. Follow up with slip stitches and cut the yarn. Repeat for a total of four similar pieces and assemble them for the whale’s tail.
Building the Whale’s Body: Begin with a magic ring, add increases to expand the body, and use stitch markers to keep track of rounds. This section includes detailed guidance for progressing through the rounds, with specific numbers of single crochets and increases to create the body shape.
Attaching the Eyes: Safety eyes are inserted between rounds eight and nine, and spaced evenly. This simple detail brings character to the whale.
Adding Fins to the Body: The fins are attached directly to the body by crocheting the fin stitches and body stitches together. The tutorial explains how to align the stitches to ensure the fins are securely attached.
Changing Yarn for Detail: Introduce white yarn to add a decorative touch near the tail. This requires switching colours in the last stitch to ensure a clean transition.
Finishing Touches - Face & Blush: For the face, black yarn is used to create small details, like eyelashes. Pink yarn adds blush for a cute expression.
Final Step - Water Spot Design: Create a whimsical “water spot” with white yarn, using chain stitches and slip stitches to form this charming addition.
