Meet Pocket Walrus, the gentle giant of the Arctic seas! Whether he’s playfully splashing with his friends or lounging lazily on a sun-kissed iceberg, his charming antics are sure to warm your heart and leave you smiling from whisker to whisker!

Skill Level: Advanced Beginner

This no-sew pattern is written in U.S. crochet terms, complete with clear instructions, pictures, and video tutorial to help you along the way. Pocket Walrus is crocheted in the round/continuous spirals without joining the rounds. I suggest using a stitch marker or different color yarn to keep track of each round. Pocket Walrus is crocheted in super bulky chenille yarn and is approximately 3 inches tall. Be aware that size may vary depending on the yarn and hook size used. Gauge is not particularly important, just be consistent with the tension you are using. And most importantly, have fun!

HEAD/BODY

  • Using color beige

    Right and left hand video tutorials available for this pattern in the pattern example above. Watch the step-by-step video

  • Make a slipknot and chain 7
  • R1: sc in the 2nd chain from hook, sc in next 5 ch sts
  • Working down the other side of the chain
  • sc in next 6 ch sts {12 sts}

    We're working in continuous rounds. Place a stitch marker and continue to crochet into next stitch.

  • R2: (inc, sc) 6 times {18 sts}
  • R3: (inc, sc in next 2 sts) 6 times {24 sts}

    (optional) Mark R4 for eye placement later.

  • R4: sc in next 24 sts {24 sts}
  • R5 we're making the whiskers. Using stitch markers, mark the back loops only of stitch 6 and stitch 8 before you begin crocheting. The whiskers will be worked into the front loops of the marked stitches. I suggest marking the sc and the sl st of the whisker with a stitch marker. Helpful for R6.

    Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for R5.

  • R5: sc in next 5 sts [whisker: in next flo sc, then ch 3, sl st to same st] sc in next st [whisker: in next flo sc, then ch 3, sl st to same st] sc in next 16 sts {24 sts counting the marked back loops, not the whisker stitches}
  • For R6, work into the back loops that we marked for R5. After you work into the back loops, reach your hook over into the next stitch - the one next to your marked stitch.

    Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for R6.

  • R6: sc in next 24 sts {24 sts}
  • We're going to pause to make the tusks.

    Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for tusks.

  • Using color white yarn
  • Place your hook horizontal under a stitch of the whisker with the top of the head facing down.
  • Attach yarn with a sc and then chain 2
  • sc in 2nd chain from hook, sc in next ch
  • sl st to the same stitch to attach.
  • Cut the yarn and pull it through the hook.
  • Repeat this on the other side.
  • Place hook under whisker with top of head face up.
  • Attach yarn with a sc and then chain 2, sc in 2nd chain from hook, sc in next ch
  • sl st to the same stitch to attach.
  • Weave both yarn ends inside of the head and make a knot with both ends to secure it.
  • R7: (inc, sc in next 3 sts) 6 times {30 sts}
  • R8-9: sc in next 30 sts {30 sts}

    Watch the step-by-step video tutorial for nose and eyes.

  • Add safety nose at R4-R5 right between the whiskers. Add 14mm safety eyes between R4-R5, next to whiskers. Secure safety nose and eyes.
  • R11: (dec, sc in next 3 sts) 6 times {24 sts}
  • R12: (dec, sc in next 2 sts) 6 times {18 sts}
  • Begin to stuff. Don't overstuff, you want the bottom to lay somewhat flat.
  • R13: (dec, sc) 6 times {12 sts}
  • R14: (dec) 6 times {6 sts}
  • Fasten off and leave a long piece of yarn to sew the body shut.
  • Please be aware that amigurumi contains small pieces and can be dangerous to children.
  • Don't forget to fluff out your bobble stitches. A yarn needle works well!
