Teeth:
Cut top half of felt strip in zig zag “teeth” pattern, leaving bottom half uncut. Using white thread, sew the uncut side of the felt to the bottom half of the zipper fabric, with the felt teeth slightly covering the zipper teeth.

Using a gray thread that matches the Body color, sew zipper into the mouth opening of the shark. Teeth may point up or down, it’s just personal preference.

Eyes:
Using black thread, sew eyes (or buttons) to body as shown.



Top (Dorsal) Fin:

Side (Pectoral) Fins (make 2):

Row 1: Ch 2. Sc in the 2nd ch from the hook. Turn. (1 sc)
Row 2: Ch1. Work 2 sc into st. Turn. (2 sc)
Row 3: Ch1. Sc in next st, sc 2 in last st. Turn. (3 sc)

Row 5 – 9: Ch1. Sc evenly across. Turn. (4 sc)
Row 10: Ch1. Sc evenly across, then working 2 sc in the last st, turn work clockwise and continue to sc around sides. Work 2 sc in each point. Break yarn, leaving a 6″ tail, and sew to each side of Body.

Gill Slits (darker gray) (make 6):
Leaving a 4″ tail, ch 6. Break yarn and finish off. Sew 3 gill slits to each side of shark, curving them slightly as shown in photos.

As I was saying, that’s all there is to it! I did stiffen the tail with a bit of water and school glue, but that’s optional. And now you have a Shark Time Pouch – for Shark Week® or any week! Do you have any shark fans in your house?

Antennae Pattern (make 2):

Magic Ring, Chain 1 and make 6 SC in ring, continue to work in rounds. Use a stitch marker if needed.
Round 2: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next stitch, repeat around (9 SC)
Round 3: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 2, repeat around (12 SC)
Round 4: SC in each stitch around (12 SC)
Round 5: SC Decrease, SC in next 2 stitches, repeat around
Round 6: SC Decrease, SC in next stitch, repeat around
At this point you want to stuff the "ball" with poly-fil and continue
Round 7-12: SC in each stitch around (6 SC)
Fasten off leaving a long tail to sew onto hat or feel free to continue SC in rounds to make longer.

I did not stuff the rest with poly-fil so they would have a little flop to them, but you could stuff them to make them stick up straight before sewing onto hat.

Use your tapestry needle to sew the bottom round of stitches onto the hat. I placed mine along the first black ring, evenly across from each other.
