About
Narwhals, narwhals, swimming in the ocean, causing a commotion, CAUSE THEY ARE SO AWESOME!
My little sister and I have a regular joke about Narwhals. In my quest to learn to crochet, I decided to try making her one and here's the result.
I'm pretty happy with this little guy, but would welcome any tips on how to improve him!
Finished size is 2 inches long, plus another inch of horn. It took me an hour to do, but I bet others could do it much quicker.
