Free Crochet No-Sew SpongeBob SquarePants Plushie Pattern
The SpongeBob pattern I shared last time was loved by most of you. That was designed to be a holiday keychain. This time, you can learn how to crochet a no-sew SpongeBob SquarePants plushie free from any additional theme with a free written pattern for beginners. You will love how easy it is to crochet one by yourself in less than 30 minutes.
The final size this time is 6.5 cm and looks so cute. The most lovely part is the cute googly eyes achieved using clever crocheting and just regular safety eyes. You can couple this plushie with Patrik Star, which is also easy to crochet.
