Once you make a D shape, go back to your first single crochet and make a double stitch.
Now, continue working in the round.
Use a slip market if youre still starting.
After that, youll have two to twelve stitches.
Do the same process until you stitch and increase it into a half-round shape with 30 stitches.
At your last 30th stitch, make a single crochet and stitch 5 chains.
Then, go into your 3rd chain from right to left, making a double stitch.
There, you have the first fin of your amigurumi whale.
Using another yarn, start by stitching it through under the whales tail.
Stitch on the chain ridges around the edge of the whales body, making 30 stitches.
Then, attach each of the safety eyes.
Go back to decreasingly stitching the whales bottom body.
Add the poly-fil stuffing almost to the end of the stitch.
Continue stitching decreasingly while adding more poly-fil stuffing until the stitching closes up.
Use a darling needle attached with yarn and stitch up the remaining hole to finish.
Pull it tightly for a seamless look.
For the excess yarn tail, put it through the whales body and then cut it.
Repeat on the other side.
To clean off the excess yarn tails, stitch them inside the whales body and cut them.
