This amigurumi walrus toy is designed by rubygroovycrochet. The walrus amigurumi is made using soft and fluffy Premier Parfait Chunky and Lion Brand Feels Like Bliss yarns. The brown toned body of the walrus amigurumi toy is shaped like an oval. The 12 or 14 mm shiny black safety eyes placed on it add a cute and lively expression to the toy.
Plush Walrus Crochet Free Pattern
The whiskers made of cream colored fluffy yarn on the front complete the walrus’s characteristic appearance, while the thin and long yarn details give it a realistic air. The small pink yarn details strengthen the expression of the toy by providing a tiny mouth appearance. The short and rounded fins added to the walrus’s body give it a more natural silhouette, while the slightly curved tail is added as a complementary detail. If you are ready, let’s start making this beginner-level amigurumi toy.
