The hood is made to look like the face of a shark, with the opening of the hood looking like the open mouth of a shark just about to enjoy a hearty meal: the person wearing the hood!! The Blanket part is made using a K-6.50mm size crochet hook, and all the fins and embellishments are made using the I-5.50mm crochet hook.

It is worked in simple stitches like SC, DC, and HDC. It does involve sewing pieces together with a whip stitch and will take some time to complete it because it is such a large blanket, but it will be well worth the effort because in the end you get a more detailed and realistic looking shark. You can make this however long you want. I did 30 rows, but you can do less or more depending on how long you want to make your shark. Row 11 – Ch3, 2DC in same gap (over the SS join). 7Dc cluster. In the next gap (which should be the 2dc ch1 2dc)- do a 2dc, ch 1 2dc, 1 DC cluster in the next 13 spaces (which puts you over the 2dc ch1 2dc gap again) do a 2dc ch 1 2dc, followed by 1 DC cluster in the next 5 spaces, SS over. (Stop increasing here for a 7-8 year old – 39.5cm diameter).

In the next gap (which should be the 2dc ch1 2dc)- do a 2dc, ch 1 2dc, 1 DC cluster in the next 7 spaces (which puts you over the 2dc ch1 2dc gap again) do a 2dc ch 1 2dc, followed by 1 DC cluster in the next 5 spaces, SS over. Sew on the tail at the bottom – folding the sides in to fit the hole at the base. Position the fin and sew to the main body, and add eyes. Lie the body flat so the 2dc ch 1 2dc are on either edge (This shows you where mouth should go). Find the middle cluster (vertical down the centre – mark with a stitch marker) and join your yarn.
