Crochet Whale and Shark Applique

What started as a “whaley” cute crochet appliqué can quickly be turned into a shark appliqué as well! And I must have good timing because I’m pretty sure it’s Shark Week! They measure about 6×5 inches although you could make them smaller by using thinner yarn and going down a hook size. As you can see the shark is a bit smaller only because the gray yarn was a bit thinner and my tension was tighter. Great project to attach to a hat, blanket, romper and more!

Materials:
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in Light Periwinkle (Whale) or Light Gray (Shark)
– Red Heart Super Saver Yarn in White
Shop these colors HERE on Yarnspirations.com
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Tapestry Needle
– Safety Eyes
