♥ The whale is started using a magic ring and worked in joined rounds. Start every round with a Ch 1. End every round with sl st to the first sc. Ch 1 and start in the same stitch. ♥ If you are not familiar with the magic ring, you may wish to start with ch 2 and crochet the indicated number of sts into the 2nd ch from the hook. ♥ The whale is made from its head towards the tail. There are 2 parts to the water sprout. It is made separately and attached onto the whale. ♥ Optional: You may insert pipe cleaners into the tail portion to prop it in an upward position. ♥ This whale is originally designed by 临来老师 and permission has been given to Crochetwawa to have it translated to English and is made available for free. ♥ Do not attempt to re-write, copy, alter, translate or sell this pattern. We love our designers very much and respect their hard work so Crochetwawa will hunt you down. ♥ We kindly request that you give credit to 临来老师 for the pattern design by tagging her on instagram ( www.instagram.com/ouax ) with the handle @ouax. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
