Everything “whale” be alright with this cutie around! Whitney the Whale Shark is so chubby and cuddly, you’ll have a fin-tastic time hanging with her!

Materials needed:
~ Half a skein of “I Love This Yarn” in ‘dark denim’ (medium, worsted weight)
~ Half a skein of “Craft Smart Never Enough” in ‘white’ (medium, worsted weight)
~ Small amount of “Red Heart Super Saver” in ‘baby pink’ (medium, worsted weight)
~ 3.5mm hook
~ 18mm safety eyes
~ Poly-fil stuffing
~ Yarn needle for sewing
~ Stitch marker

When crocheted with worsted weight (category 4) yarn and a 3.5 mm crochet hook, the Whale Shark will measure 17”L x 13”W x 6”H.

Please keep in mind that this is an ADVANCED PATTERN. It takes time and work to make the speckled pattern on the shark’s back, but it makes a beautiful finished product!

This is a 13 page PDF pattern that includes 19 pictures, and several pro-tips to make your crocheting experience a breeze!

I walk you through how to create the new stitches, and I also include a link to my website for a video tutorial.

You may sell the finished products of the patterns you buy, but please give credit back to me, Julia P. of The Kotton Kaboodle and give a link back to my shop or website, “www.thekottonkaboodle.com”.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS FOR FINISHED PRODUCT:
Put the stuffed animal in a pillowcase and close the hole with a hair tie. Put it in your washing machine on a gentle/delicate cycle using cold water and a very small amount of detergent so it will smell good. Let it air dry until it is completely dry. You may have to reshape the stuffed animal slightly.
You can surface treat any stains.
