The most magnificent of crochet sea animals is the crochet walrus. Although I say magnificent, this is actually a cute crochet walrus pattern. Because it is made with small and plush yarn. In our series “I learn animals”, I wanted to feature this walrus, one of the crocheted sea animals, today. The walrus’ teeth were made with two small yarns. If you wish, you can choose different accessories.
