20 Small Sea Creatures Amigurumi
Sea creatures are truly fascinating and incredible. Sadly we don’t have a lot of contact with them, and it’s almost impossible to spend some time with a whale, a crab, or a shark. They are wild animals and should live in their environment while we live in ours. Luckily, you can be a little closer to the undersea world by simply crocheting these sweet amigurumi animals! In addition to that, I’m sure one of these cute fellows is going to be your kid’s best friend! Above all, these animals are really easy to make, therefore perfect for beginners!
