I have a feeling you will be able to use this whale on multiple projects! Whales seem to be popular and trendy among kids decor. In fact, my kids have a whale-themed bathroom! I look forward to seeing all the places you use this appliqué.

Materials:
– Worsted weight yarn. I used Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice in Aqua (it’s one of their baby yarns) and a little black for the eye and mouth.
– Size G Crochet Hook (the bigger the hook the bigger the appliqué and vice versa)
– Tapestry needle
