How To Downsize From The Adult Shark Blanket Pattern The crochet shark blanket pattern free is available in PDF format for those who prefer written instructional material. The pattern comes with pictures and illustrations detailing exactly what you need to do at every stage. Finished one of my crochet pattern makes? I?d love to see it and so would the world, so get sharing! You can find me in the following ways: The hood is made to look like the face of a shark, with the opening of the hood looking like the open mouth of a shark just about to enjoy a hearty meal: the person wearing the hood!!
The blanket would look simply amazing on your little ones and for that reason, we had to find a way to downsize the pattern to a smaller child or toddler size. Here’s how;At this point, if it is NOT as wide as you need it, continue established pattern just increasing the stitches evenly until it is as wide as you need it to be. See video for visual instructions) Row 6 – Ch3, 2DC in same gap (over the SS join). 2Dc cluster. In the next gap (which should be the 2dc ch1 2dc)- do a 2dc, ch 1 2dc, 1 DC cluster in the next 8 spaces (which puts you over the 2dc ch1 2dc gap again) do a 2dc ch 1 2dc, followed by 1 DC cluster in the next 5 spaces, SS over. It is worked in simple stitches like SC, DC, and HDC. It does involve sewing pieces together with a whip stitch and will take some time to complete it because it is such a large blanket, but it will be well worth the effort because in the end you get a more detailed and realistic looking shark.

If you do not want to work in rows, watch the video tutorial for visual instructions on how to make this a full cocoon style.
Row 11 – Ch3, 2DC in same gap (over the SS join). 7Dc cluster. In the next gap (which should be the 2dc ch1 2dc)- do a 2dc, ch 1 2dc, 1 DC cluster in the next 13 spaces (which puts you over the 2dc ch1 2dc gap again) do a 2dc ch 1 2dc, followed by 1 DC cluster in the next 5 spaces, SS over. (Stop increasing here for a 7-8 year old – 39.5cm diameter). For the main body, crochet a distance of 12 inches instead of the original 24 inches for the adult shark blanket. Notes: Watch the video tutorial to make this smaller or bigger. At the end of the video tutorial I give clear instructions on how to make this smaller. Just stop increasing at the point where you feel it has reached the size you are trying to accomplish, then jump to the directions for row 44 and make it however long you want it to be. Also, you have an option to skip stuffing the fins with Fiberfil. However, you don’t see a shark with a fin lying over its side, so don’t skip the stuffing. The small details matter a lot. You will be pleased that it won’t take you that long to start and finish this project. Voila – you should have a shark – now you just need a child to be ‘eaten’ by it! I’d love to know what you think – and if you make one – see any pictures! Join me at Off The Hook For You to share your crochet!
