Create your own low-sew mini sharks in under an hour each with this easy crochet pattern! The hammerhead and mini shark each take about 35 minutes to make, and the whale shark takes about 45 minutes. All of the pieces for these sharks are crocheted together without sewing, except for the white belly pieces which are sewn on.
This pattern includes 1 PDF file with all 3 patterns; each pattern is loaded with progress pictures, as well as detailed instructions and lots of video tips to help along the way.
The following stitches are used in this pattern: chain, single crochet, increase stitch, single crochet decrease stitch, and half double crochet stitch (these last 3 stitches are explained in the pattern).
