How to crochet the No-Sew Narwhal

Beginner-friendly · 6 cm tall · about 2 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

Crochet the toy in rounds: Narwhal (32 rounds).

No sewing at the end: the ears, limbs and tail are crocheted in as you go.

Stuff and finish it in one step, shown on the 3D model.

Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

Safety eyes and noses go in before the piece is stuffed and closed (see the pieces above); embroidery is easier before the piece is sewn on.
