Crochet Whale Plush in Blue or Grey, 20 cm Handmade Baby Gift

This crochet whale plush is a round, friendly shape with short side fins, a small tail and a stitched smile. It comes in deep blue or soft grey with a paler belly, and it is about 20 cm from nose to tail. It is bought most often for an ocean nursery shelf and as a baby shower present.

How to choose your crochet whale plush

The two standard versions are deep blue with a cream belly and soft grey with a white belly. Both have the same shape. If you are matching a nursery, send a photo and we will pick a shade that sits with the room rather than fighting it.

1. Pick the body colour. Deep blue, soft grey, or a shade you name.
2. Pick the belly. Cream, white or a soft contrast colour.
3. Add a name. We embroider it on the belly panel, free of charge.

Why the rounded shape sits so well

The body is worked as one closed shape with a flat underside, so the crochet whale plush sits squarely on a shelf and does not roll when it is knocked. The fins are small and sewn flat against the sides, which keeps the outline clean and removes the usual weak point where a limb joins the body.

There are no small parts, no glue and no wire anywhere in it, and the face is stitched directly into the fabric. That makes it one of the simplest pieces we make to give to a very young child. The tail is short and firm, so it survives being used as a handle, which is exactly what happens to it.

Made to order and shipped worldwide

Each whale takes 5-10 working days to crochet before it is posted. Every parcel is tracked, and you can follow it on our order tracking page.

Care

Hand wash your crochet whale plush in cool water with a mild soap, press the water out in a towel rather than wringing it, reshape the body and fins while damp and air dry away from direct sunlight. Do not tumble dry. The amigurumi care guide has the full method.

Questions people ask

Is the crochet whale plush suitable for a newborn?

It is made with an embroidered face and no small parts, which is why it is one of our more popular baby gifts. Still use it under supervision.

Can you make a pair?

Yes, a large and a small whale together is a common order. Sets take 7-12 working days to make.

Can it be gift wrapped?

Everything goes out wrapped in tissue. Ask in the order notes if you want a card written, or use our contact page.

How soon should I order for a baby shower?

Allow the making time plus the postage for your country, and a little spare. You can see more options in our crochet baby gift guide.

For a nursery with a sea theme, our stuffed crochet animals include other pieces that sit together on one shelf.
