Had to let you know I have just made the little dolphin and it came out so cute, if I say so myself. I used dark grey and white to make him as I wanted him to be a porpoise for my husband. Night before last, at our new home in the Highlands of Scotland, we happened to look out our livingroom window and delighted to see a small pod of grey porpoise hunting. We had been in the process of unpacking but stood there for over an hour watching them catch their dinner. Came on to youtube yesterday to see if I could find a dolphin/porpoise pattern and discovered yours. I surprised hubby with it and he is so happy with it. We both want to thank you for sharing the pattern! 💙 Thank you!

Awww, wow. That's really amazing to read. Thank you for sharing your story and I'm sure your husband must be so delighted to see his own little dolphin/porpoise in yarny form!! On another note, I can only imagine how beautiful it must be in the Highlands of Scotland. That's a place I'd love to visit one day!

I looked at where you put the pattern of the row below the video and I understand it now! this was an outstanding video! at first, I didn't want to watch it because it was 41 minutes long but it was not bad at ALL!

These are absolutely perfect and adorable!! IMHO, you could use your pattern to make 4 different animals,2 dolphin types and your 2 whale types... the other dolphin type would be the Orca/Killer whale! Even though it's nickname says it's a whale, it is actually a breed of dolphin. You would use black and white yarn for the top and bottom, and black for the upper fin, but modify that to bit a bit taller than the dolphin fin. Then add some white yarn in one or two places on both sides of the Orca. As those white markings differentiate each Orca from another, you can be somewhat random with where you place the markings which should be identical and looking and spaced similarly on both sides of the body and there you go, you have an Orca as well!!!

Hey, I'm just confused with row 7 leaving 3 stitches unworked, I've done this crochet twice and my whale always has a loop sided, if I did work in thoes 3 stitches would it be more straight? Also thank you for your amazing videos, I recently purchased some of your patterns as a thank you for helping me learn so much.

@SweetSofties

10 ай бұрын

Hi! Sorry, just catching up with comments now and seeing this. The 3 sts unworked is supposed to make you finish at the very back/center of the whale. With the natural progression of where we start teh rounds and with the inc/dec, that is where the color change would end up, but if that's not happening with you, just work those last 3 sts so that you end up at teh center-back of the whale! :) Hope this helps....thanks so much for supporting me by getting the patttern, and I'm so sorry I didn't see your comment sooner! If you need help, feel free to reach out to me via email or on Etsy messages (if that's where you got the pattern) or on Payhip contact-me form!

I can work with this type of yarn as I can't see the stitches clearly. But I love the fluffyness of the yarn.

Try putting stitch markers in each stitch of your magic ring until you learn how to find them. That’s how I learned

I’m trying to make the nose for the dolphin and I can’t quite figure out which “same stitch” I’m going into. Would that be the chain done after we pulled the yarn through, or would it be the stitch on the main body we attached it to?

Hello, I've been looking for a tutorial on how to make a large version of a whale, so as to be able to hug it. Do you know what the measurements would be to make it?

@SweetSofties

Жыл бұрын

Hmmm you might need to use a diff pattern to make it a huggable size! I think mine would be too small as it already uses super bulky weight yarn and comes out to be palm sized. Sorry about that!

Thank you so much for the step by step tutorial! But I have a question, why do we leave the last 3 stitches unformed? Mine turned out wonky 😂 Also… what does back loops only do?

@SweetSofties

3 ай бұрын

Thanks and going by the pattern will allow you to put the tail centered in the back of the body. The BLO helps produce a differentiation between the belly and the upper body (the unworked front loop will look like a line going across the two parts).

Do you mean the magic ring start? (In this case the 8 sc). This means you probably crochet uneven or too tight, for my feeling you could try the magic ring method (look it up on yt its real easy) or maybe you skipped the increases. Another problem could be the way you make your single crochets, maybe you dont loop the second time? Hopefully this is helpful! I dont know if youre a beginner or not so..
