A crochet seal can be tiny enough to hang on a Christmas tree or big enough to turn into a sleeping bag and pillow. This free pattern collection also includes fluffy amigurumi, a cute heart applique, baby seals, a hat and two very different C2C projects.
For something simple, there’s a quick no-sew mini seal made in under an hour, while beginners can try the easy beanie in sizes from baby to adult. Several designs also include step-by-step photos or tutorial help if you want more guidance as you crochet.
There are plenty of unusual details too, from faux fur and chubby plush shapes to a seal balancing a ball on its nose. You can even make a giant bedtime project, a C2C blanket or a small Arctic amigurumi wearing its own Santa hat and scarf.
