    Free Crochet Amigurumi Narwhal

    Ned and Norah the Narwhals are the Letter N animals in my Amigurumi from A to Z series! These were made with the new Lion Brand Color Made Easy yarn which is a bulky size 5 yarn. This yarn is pretty fun for amigurumi and it makes the crochet narwhal a fun size pretty quickly. But you do not need to use it, a regular worsted weight works just fine. Your amigurumi narwhal will be just a little bit smaller (and pretty dang cute that way, too!) You may need to go down a hook size, (I recommend trying a 3.75mm or 3.5mm) just make sure your stitches are tight enough that they won't show the stuffing! When made with the recommended yarn it will be about 10 inches from head to tail.

    See the other patterns in the series here. Also, take a minute and read my amigurumi tips and tricks post. It will help a lot with all the details and how to get your amigurumi narwhal just right!

    Materials and Abbreviations for Crochet Narwhal

    You will need:
    About 100g Color Made Easy yarn (or see note above) for the body
    A small amount of similar yarn in the horn color.
    15mm safety eyes
    Stuffing
    4mm hook
    Needle for sewing
    Stitch marker
    Embroidery thread for eyelashes

    Abbreviations
    SC- single crochet
    SC INC- single crochet increase (2 SC in each stitch)
    INV DEC- Invisible decrease (put hook through the FRONT LOOP ONLY of two consecutive stitches [two loops on hook] Yarn over pull through both loops. [two loops on hook] Yarn over pull through two loops)
    Magic Circle- Make a loop, leaving a long tail to work with. Insert hook in center of loop, yarn over and draw up a loop. Yarn over, pull through to make the first chain (this does not count as a stitch!). Continue to crochet over the loop and tail with the number of stitches called for. (If you need 6 SC, then crochet 6 SC inside the ring.) Pull the tail to close the circle.

    Always move your stitch marker to the last stitch in the round. This pattern is worked in continuous rounds.
