This is a 2-in-1 Amigurumi pattern for a cute, chubby shark and dolphin. This pattern can be purchased on its own, or as part of my Caribbean Pirates Bundle.

The pattern starts at the top of the head and works down, incorporating the pectoral fins and tail as you crochet, and creating the belly through colour changes. A bit of sewing is required to create the tail and attach the dorsal fin. Additionally, there is some simple embroidery for the shark's mouth and gills, and a bit more sewing to attach the dolphin's beak. I've provided options for either safety eyes or crocheted eyes. Using DK yarn and a 2.5mm hook, Eggy Shark/Dolphin reaches a height of approximately 13cm. I'd love to see your completed projects; feel free to share them by tagging me on Instagram @dreamweave.creations or visiting my Facebook page, DreamWeave Creations.

I have assigned an advanced beginner skill level to this pattern. While the majority of it involves simple stitches, there is some assembly required in sewing components together. Additionally, there are a few colour changes to create the belly and crocheting the tail and fins can be a little fiddly for the first couple of rounds.

Feel free to explore variations by swapping out yarn, safety eyes and hook sizes to achieve a different outcome, and get creative with experimenting with various colours. This pattern works particularly well with plush yarn. Photographs and suggested yarns are included within the pattern.
