Everything You Need to Get Started
Our pattern includes a complete and detailed list of recommended materials and tools, but here is a general guide to what you’ll need to gather to bring your charming whale pumpkin to life.
Essential Materials & Tools:
- Yarn Type: Cozy and squishable Bulky (Category 5) yarn is recommended to achieve a plush, cuddly finish. We suggest classic orange for the body and a contrasting blue or gray for the whale features.
- Crochet Hook Size: A 4mm (G-6) hook is recommended to create tight, neat stitches with no gaps, ensuring the stuffing stays securely inside.
- Safety Eyes: Two safety eyes (we suggest 10-12mm) to give your creation a professional, secure, and soulful finish.
- Other Essentials: A generous amount of soft polyester fiberfill for stuffing, stitch markers to keep your place, sharp scissors, and a trusty tapestry needle for weaving in ends and assembling your new friend.
