Hoooked: Maverick the Shark - DIY Crochet Kit
Hoooked: Maverick the Shark - DIY Crochet Kit
Details
If you like sea animals or have someone who loves sharks in particular, this is a wonderful Amigurumi project for you to crochet.
Designed by Milva Handicrafts from Portugal, especially thinking of July 14th, as it is Shark Awareness Day. A day meant to shift attitudes around sharks and boost awareness of these animals and everything they do for ocean ecosystems.
Sharks maintain the balance of life in the sea by feeding on other animals, especially mid-sized predators which would otherwise overpopulate and kill off smaller species. You can help protect sharks, by avoiding any shark-derived products (dishes containing shark fin, beauty products such as soap and makeup containing squalene, and leather items made from shagreen).
This DIY crochet pattern assumes you have experience in the field of amigurumi crochet and are able to read crochet patterns.
This kit contains:
- 1x Eco Barbante Solid Gris 100g
- 1x Eco Barbante Solid Lotus 50g
- 4 mm crochet hook
- Leftover Eco Barbante Noir for embroidery
- Pattern
You will also need:
Recycled cotton filling (approx. 26 g)
Tapestry needle
Scissors
Please note:
Our pattern uses UK crochet terms.
UK = US
Double Crochet (dc) = Single Crochet (sc)
Half Treble (htr) = Half Double (hdc)
Treble (tr) = Double Crochet (dc)
