As color A yarn cascades through the hook, it gradually builds the whale's main body before inviting a splash of color B yarn to outline its underbelly.

To start off, you'll need to gather the necessary materials for this project. You begin your project by starting a magic ring, a technique used in amigurumi to create a tightly closed hole at the start. The actual creation of the whale includes rounds of a specific number of stitches using half-double crochets. You'll be increasing at certain intervals. This part of the process involves a lot of repetition, ultimately forming the spherical shape of the whale's body. It’s finally time to stuff your whale with polyfil to give it a soft and cuddly feel. After stuffing, you finish the ending rounds by decreasing and closing off the hole with a final pull.
