Hammerhead sharks can get up to 20 feet long, but not this version! This itty bitty Hammerhead Shark is the perfect size to keep in your pocket. Finished, it is about three inches long (so it’s not suitable for very small children, as they could decide to snack on the shark). I designed this little shark and its friend, the Great white Shark, for my son’s 9th birthday. Hammerhead sharks are known to travel in schools of up to 500. Good thing this is a quick and easy pattern, you’ll have your own school in no time!
