Description
Meet Whirlpool the Giant Whale Shark, the 9th addition to the Giant Pillow Plushies series. Though she is the third largest creature in the ocean, she is nothing but a gentle giant. Whirlpool spends a third of her day hunting for prey. "Slow and steady wins the race" is the motto she lives by, as she gracefully swims in warm waters at an average of 3 mph [4.8 kph]. In her spare time, she enjoys meditating to the hum of the deep ocean.
Birthday: June 24
Astrological sign: Cancer
Interests: Meditation and yoga
Favorite color: Turquoise
Favorite food: Anchovy pasta
Favorite beverage: Sea salt caramel latte
Dislikes: Chilly or polluted waters
Fears: Blue sharks
***TIPS***
-Use stitch markers to keep track of the beginning of each round (especially important since this fuzzy chenille yarn can make it difficult to see).
-Use knitting needles (or chopsticks) when using chunky yarn to position parts on evenly.
-Fluff up your stuffing by pulling it apart and inserting it little by little to make your amigurumi more even. Stuff it some more right before closing a piece using tweezers for a firmer shape.
-Note that my jumbo patterns do not translate to thinner yarn weights well due to gauge differences. The dimensions will be off!
-Experiencing some loose fibers when cutting chenille yarn is normal. A solution is to carefully singe the ends with a lighter to seal the tips of the yarn tails before sewing.
-For larger surface areas, you can sew with medium worsted yarn instead. This helps prevent the shedding/breakage of chenille yarn as well as save on the expensive stuff!
-If you are experiencing breakage when trying to pull your magic circle closed, create the starting ring with the "ch 2" method.
***NOTES***
Please do not copy/redistribute any part of this pattern as your own. This includes reposting/translating without permission. Feel free to sell your finished products in small quantities as long as you give credit to help support my work. Tag your creations with #curiouspapaya so I can feature you!
This is an intermediate level pattern due to working in an oval spiral and the mouth shaping.
This pattern is worked in continuous rounds (a spiral).
Measurements: 14 in. x 13 in. [~36 cm x ~33 cm] if using the prescribed materials and if using the YUYO (yarn under, yarn over) method of crocheting.
