Supplies you'll need to crochet Seel
General supplies:
- Crochet hook 2,5 mm, I always use clover amour hooks for my projects!
- Sewing needle
- Stuffing
- Stitch marker
With Amigurumi you guage doesn’t matter much. Using smaller hook and yarn will make you finished Seel smaller, and bigger hook and yarn will make him bigger. Just make sure that your yarn and hook fits together and makes a tight fabric so the stuffing won’t show through!
For a smaller version, about 8 cm tall, or 3 inches, you will need the following yarn.
I reccomend Hobbii Rainbow cotton 8/4. This yarn is a 100% cotton and very nice to work with! With this yarn, I use a 2,5 mm hook (or a B-1 or C-2 should work too!). If Rainbow cotton is sold out, I can also recommend Friends cotton from Hobbii as a direct substitute.
- 1 x white
- A bit of light yellow and light pink for face-details
- A bit of black for details on the fins
- Safety eyes, I used 6mm

Assembly of your crochet Seel
Start by attaching the face pieces. Start with the cheeks and make sure they are up against each other and the eyes. Then add the tongue in the middle and the fangs besides the tongue. Attach the spike at the top of his head. Embroider a few stitches between the mouth/cheeks to be the nose and eyebrows above the eyes.
Attach front and back fins. They should not be stuffed. Front fins should be placed so the tip lies flat on the table, so they help the balance of the piece. The back fins should be put on vertically, so you clearly see them when looking at Seel from the front. Embroider lines on the fins to make them more dimensional.
