In this crochet tutorial we are going to make little Bluey’s sister – crochet Bingo. Besides, if you would like to make crochet Bluey toy in addition to this crochet Bingo, you can find free crochet tutorial for Bluey here 🙂
If you are going to use same yarn (Dolce YarnArt velvet) and same crochet hook (3.5mm) as I have used for this project, you will end up with 37cm (14.5inch) tall crochet Bingo toy.
As I used velvet yarn, this crochet Bingo is very soft to touch and will be perfect present for little Bluey and Bingo fan.
