Congratulations, Michelle, I&#8217;ll email you to find out which pattern you&#8217;d like as your prize!<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;d like to be entered into the June drawing to win a pattern of your choice, it&#8217;s easy!

The daffodils are lovely and seasonal, but the whale pattern got more takers because it&#8217;s possibly the fastest amigurumi pattern in the world \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>I thought I&#8217;d do a roundup post to show all the Daffodils and Whales everyone came up with! (If I&#8217;ve missed yours, please <a href=\"mailto:craft@planetjune.com\">email me<\/a> or leave a comment with the link, and I&#8217;ll add it to this post.)<\/p>\n<p>I wanted to join in the Crochet-Along too, so I super-sized my whale pattern by using a larger hook and thicker yarn, and made <a href=\"\/blog\/mega-whale\/\">Mega Whale<\/a>!<\/p>\n<p><a
