Here is the plush free killer whale crochet pattern for you. This crochet orca pattern will vary in size when completed depending on your plush yarn and crochet density. The designer used wolans bunny baby plush yarn and a 3.5 mm crochet hook to make such a large plush crochet whale. All parts of the crochet whale are made separately and then secured together. I have translated this free crochet whale pattern myself, so please forgive me if you see any mistakes in some places. Here is this unique free killer whale crochet pattern for you now.
