Dive into the adorable world of sea creatures with the Amigurumi Fur Seal Crochet Free Pattern designed by Happy Toys by Yulya! This irresistibly cute fur seal measures about 25 cm (9.8″) when finished, making it the perfect cuddly companion or gift for ocean lovers. Crafted with soft and durable YarnArt Jeans yarn (55% cotton, 45% acrylic), this pattern comes in two charming versions — a sweet boy seal and a stylish girl seal — featuring color combinations such as #46, #01, #47, and #90 for the boy, and #05, #01, and #90 for the girl. Using a 2.0 mm crochet hook, 10 mm safety eyes, and YarnArt Iris yarn for the embroidered details like the nose and eyelashes, this project blends creativity with precision for a delightful handmade finish.

This step-by-step, beginner-friendly pattern is thoughtfully written to guide crocheters of all levels through every stitch with ease.
