I've made Shannon the shark using a jumbo #7 weight yarn. This is ideal for a soft and huggable plush toy and is a pretty quick make. You can decide if you want to make your shark with or without the white underside piece. Shannon can also be made in super chunky yarn, with a smaller crochet hook.

The pattern is clear to follow with detailed instructions and lots of pictures for step by step making and assembly. There are also picture instructions for invisible finish and starting the pieces.

I've made Shannon using jumbo weight yarn and a 9mm (M/N) crochet hook. She is 26.5 inches long in jumbo yarn (in super chunky weight yarn she is 15.5 inches long).

The following stitches/techniques are used in this pattern: slip stitch, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, increase, decrease (sc2tog), invisible finish

(This pattern is for personal use only, not to be resold or rewritten in any way. I am happy for you to sell the finished toy, but please credit the design to me.)
