Crochet Whale and Shark Applique

July 12, 2021

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

Video tutorial:

    In our plans is even short search training, is it really the best way to Google: “no deposit bonus codes australia”, or maybe it’s more effective to follow other ways to get the most out of promo campaigns. Because we all know that you can find many bonuses on the Internet, but not all of them will actually be no deposit, or will not work, or may contain some hidden nuances. In our blog, we will publish only the codes we personally have verified! Read more in the article https://www.australiantimes.co.uk/at/golden-reels-blog-review/
