Materials and tools.
For this shark are used MADAME Cotton yards MADAME Cotton 306 yards (280
meters)/100 grams (3.5 Oz). This is just 50% cotton, for the best quality I
recommend 100% cotton. I didn’t find thick cotton threads, so used this mark.
On example two blue colors number, “dark” color 300 grams number 013 and
“light” color 200 grams number 016, milky color 50 grams.
You can choose your style of the toy. For the back take darker color then for the
bottom side.
Hook 1.25 mm or 1,5 mm depends on mark hook and style of your crocheting. I
used Clover 1,5 mm. Choose the hook for yourself. Crocheting should be very,
very tight. For the nostrils I recommend use little smaller size of the hook.
VERY IMPORTANT. This pattern is suitable only for crocheting in 2 and 3 colors!
◦ Filler holofiber for stuffing. I recommend lightweight filler, because the toy
is big, about 800-1000 grams.
◦ Flat pliers and cutters for wire and helping with the eyelids. Tweezers and
wood sticks for stuffing.
◦ Steel wire frame 1,5 mm and adhesive tape for wrap the frame.
Imperatively recommend only thick steel wire, because in this case the
frame should be very hard. And I am using cotton medical tape – plaster for
wrapping the frame.
◦ Soft pastel for body and metallic acrylic paints for the eyes painting.
◦ Acrylic varnish for use with soft pastel.
◦ Brushes for painting, different sizes. Light grey permanent marker or textile
marker. Black or dark grey waterproof liner. If you choose another colors of
yarn you should choose another suitable color of marker. Look instructions
for decorating first.
The painting with soft pastel is very perfect for 100% cotton threads. I don’t
recommend paint on the 100% acryl yarn, and don’t recommend acryl yarn
exactly.
◦ White polymer clay or suitable colors for making eyes and teeth. You can
take only white color and tint it or you can take original others color of
polymer suitable with thread colors. I used white color and made blue color
with soft pastel.
◦ And universal invisible glue, that not leave traces. I recommend Moment
Crystal by Henkel.
◦ Glass hemispheres for the eyes, diameter 20 mm or little smaller. Or ready
glass eyes.
◦ Needles for sewing eyelids and close holes on details.
◦ Silicone brush pen, dots for sculpting and modeling.
◦ For desired use varnish for the sculpt details. I use UV gel polish and UV
lamp.
