A4 PDF: materials, every round with a tick box, assembly and face

Free crochet shark pattern: a Shark in a Hoodie amigurumi, about 11 cm tall in DK yarn with a 2.5 mm hook. Grey-blue shark face in a pink hood with a toothy grin, a grey fin on top and white drawstrings on the pink hoodie body. You need about 95 m of yarn: 55 m pink, 15 m dark pink, 15 m grey, 5 m white and 5 m light pink. Plan on roughly 3 hours. Pair it with a desk, a shelf or a pile of pillows as a cosy sea buddy, or give it to someone who loves sharks and soft pink hoodies. Spin the 3D model and follow the round-by-round pattern at your own pace.

How to crochet the Shark in a Hoodie

Intermediate · 11 cm tall · about 3 h · DK yarn · 2.5 mm hook

  1. Crochet the 12 pieces in rounds: Hoodie body, Head (hood), Hood trim, Shark face, Dorsal fin, Sleeve ×2, Hand fin, Tail fin, Pocket, Cheek ×2 (93 rounds in all).
  2. Stuff and put it together in 10 steps; each one lights up where it goes on the 3D model.
  3. Add the face: safety eyes by round and stitch, or embroider them for a child under 3.

Every round with its stitch count is in the Pattern tab below, and in the free printable PDF.

Gauge

1 sc ≈ 4 mm wide, 1 round ≈ 3.6 mm tall (10 cm ≈ 25 sc × 28 rounds); yarn about 1.9 mm thick. The gauge sets the size of the toy; crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show.

Worked in

Continuous spiral rounds. Don't join. Move a stitch marker up every round.

  1. Size before assembly: about 6.6 cm at the widest, 4.1 cm long; 15 rounds.
  2. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Stuff firmly just before sewing it on; a little less near the edge, then add a pinch when the seam is nearly done.

  1. Size before assembly: about 8.2 cm at the widest, 6.1 cm long; 26 rounds.
  2. → Start stuffing (firmly) and keep adding as you decrease.
  3. Top up the stuffing if needed. Fasten off leaving a 15 cm tail; with the needle weave it through the front loops of all 6 stitches of the last round, pull tight and hide the end inside.

  1. A flat oval about 9.4 × 6.6 cm; 9 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running side to side. The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 4 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns.
  2. With dark pink: ch 9.
  3. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Do not stuff.

  1. A flat oval about 8.7 × 5.9 cm; 8 rounds. Worked around a chain, so it is an oval: sew it on with its long side (along the chain) running side to side. The round-start marker is in the middle of a long side (the piece's centre line), while R1 starts at a turn: after R1 shift the round start — sc 4 more (not counted in any round) and place the marker there. The increases fall on the turns. Multi-colour rounds are listed stitch by stitch from the round-start marker; keep the round start on the piece's centre top line (as it sits on the finished toy). The order is for right-handed crocheting (right to left on the outside); left-handed: reverse it.
  2. With grey: ch 9.
  3. Fasten off leaving a long tail (30–40 cm) for sewing. Insert the safety nose/eyes now, while the piece is open (positions: see “Face”). Do not stuff.
