Crochet Whale Applique and Granny Square Free Crochet Pattern – Ocean Themed Blanket

The Whale is the 13th square of my Ocean Afghan. To find all the information about this Afghan click here.

Say hello to the newest addition to the Ocean Afghan! A plump little whale! This guy can be made in many different colors – get creative! I was set on doing an orca whale, but the black did not translate well and the face really got lost so I ended up with a cute blue whale instead!

Only two more designs to go! I’m already joining them up and it’s looking fantastic! Can’t wait to share the whole afghan 🙂
