I would like to introduce a seal amigurumi toy pattern with delicate fins and a tail to you, my valued followers. The crocheted seal has very large eyes and a white nose. In the photo above, you can see a sample of the crocheted seal made in two different colors. Although the brand of the yarn to be used in making the toy is not specified, you can easily make the toy using velvet or chenille yarn. There is a very detailed explanation of the crocheted seal. It will be much easier to make the toy thanks to the detailed explanation and visuals.
Plush Seal Pina Amigurumi Pattern
Before making a crochet toy, you will first need to choose what type of yarn you will use. Although the seal amigurumi is made with a thick type of yarn, its size is quite small. So I think you should use a thick yarn. Then, you can start making the toy with a crochet hook suitable for this yarn. If we were to choose a color, when we look at the toys in the photo, I liked the light blue color more.
When making a seal amigurumi toy, do not forget to pay attention to the fins and tail are not filled. Also, these will be the parts that will challenge you the most. If you are ready, let’s start and make a seal amigurumi toy.

NOTE
If the flipper isn’t aligned properly, make some additional sc to straighten them and then sc together.
It’s time for the pieces that will give a toy its actual shape. Now we’ll crochet the arms, or rather the fins, of the toy.
Arms [make 2]
R1: 9ch
R2: skip first ch, 8sc, ch, turn (8)
R3: skip first ch, 7sc, 2 inc, 7sc (18)

In the photo below, a detailed diagram of how to make the arms of the toy is shared. Here you can see in which parts single crochet and increase are used.
It’s time to make the piece that truly makes the seal stand out the most. If you’re ready, let’s crochet the seal’s tail.
Flipper
R1: 9ch
R2: skip first ch, 8sc, ch, turn (8)
R3: skip ch, 8sc, 2ch, turn (8)
R4: skip 2ch, 7sc, slst, make 2 sc back to the start (8)

In the photo below you can see how to shape the tail of the toy.

R7: skip first st, 8sc, 2ch, turn (8)
R8: skip 2ch, 8sc (8)

Below is a photo showing how to join the fins of the crocheted toy. This photo will help you a lot when making the tail of the toy.
Finally, you need to crochet the nose of the toy. Then, all you have to do is join all the pieces together.
Snout (white)
R1: 6sc MR (6)
R2: inc x6 (12)
Slst, FO leave a long tail to sew
Embroider the nose and the mouth on the snout. Sew the hands, flipper and the snout to the body and make details like eyebrows and blush if you like.
Congrats! You finished your cute little seal!
