It’s a “fin-tastic” day for YARNutopia as we release the video tutorial and free pattern for the shark tail. A much anticipated blog post for this “Jaw-some” blanket. *Queue JAWS music here* Klik hier voor de vertaling (DUTCH TRANSLATION)

Video tutorial shows how to make this smaller or larger. Watch the very end to learn how to do that!

You can make this however long you want. I did 30 rows, but you can do less or more depending on how long you want to make your shark.

Ch 6, Sl St in 2 nd ch from hook, SC in next, HDC in next, DC in next, TC in next, Sk 3 sts on red gum line, Sl St in next st on row 75. Repeat from * across. (see video tutorial if this part is a little confusing) 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. There will be an added expense of more travel and hopefully this won’t deter our ability to provide consistent videos on a weekly basis.
