I got this pattern from Luvly-gurumi's Etsy shop. I am addicted to all her cutesy amigurumi patterns now and I want 'em all! I do not know the difference between seal and sea otter. I have googled some pictures of the seals and sea otters here. Both are equally cute despite difference in sizes.
There was once I watched an sea otter learnt how to eat urchin on NatGeo. Too cute!

And this is my version of baby seal
Baby seal learns swimming
With a bucketful of fish.Yummmm!
Hello! Are you a seal too?
I can do backstroke too!
Baby seal just loves his float & fish ❤
P/s: The pattern for the baby seal is purchased from Luvly-gurumi. I only created the swimming float and bucket on my own.
Here's the pattern of the float and bucket. No worries, the float isn't as intimidating as it looks. It's pretty easy-peasy and I love love love the color combination here.
NOTES:
1) Work in continuous spiral round; do not join rounds unless otherwise stated. Mark first stitch of each round.
2) To change color, work last st of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete st.
