We continue the day with crochet sea animals. The second free amigurumi pattern of the day is a crocheted dolphin. Since the crocheted dolphin is made with chenille yarn, it has a soft structure. You can make this cute mini crocheted dolphin with colored yarns or just one color yarn like turquoise. You can let children learn about sea animals while playing with amigurumi toys with this dolphin. Since it is made with soft yarn, it is suitable for young children. Now you can learn how to make a crocheted dolphin step by step below.

Finish
I used safety eyes size 8 mm for this dolphin (made with chenille yarn size 3mm, hook size 3mm). Put the eyes between R9-10. Be careful so that the eyes can be in the right place.
No need to fill the fins and tail.
For the flippers, we can sew from R19.
For the fin on the back.
