How to Crochet Two-Color Mini Dolphin
This amigurumi project lets you crochet an adorable, pocket-sized dolphin with a contrasting blue-and-white body. It features continuous two-color changes to separate the dolphin’s colorful upper body from its white underbelly.
The pattern builds the snout, body, and tail fins into a single piece, while the dorsal and side pectoral fins are worked separately and sewn on at the end.
