Slip your foot into the jaws of these hilarious shark slipper socks! These are fully lined which makes them warm and comfortable. Use #4 acrylic yarn that can easily run through your machine like I Love this Yarn or Red Heart. You will need: red or pink for the lining, a light color for the belly and a darker shade for the back. Plus a small amount of white for the teeth and just a yard/meter of black to embroider the eyes.

Using my special techniques, the main section comes off the machine fully assembled including the teeth! So…you just need to add the dorsal, tail and side fins and embroider the black, bulgy eyes Watch the tutorial for this pattern at this link: https://youtu.be/UgAS511xHFA

These slipper socks can be knit on any bulky or mid-guage flatbed knitting machine as no electronic or ribber are required.

The pattern includes a Child’s Small, Medium and Large plus a range of Adult sizes including Small, Medium, Large and Extra Large.

I hope you have as much fun making them as I did designing them!
