More about the Hammerhead Shark Pattern

This pattern stands out from the rest because it includes all the little details that make this so realistic. It has all 8 fins common to Hammerhead Sharks and even includes the notch on the caudal (tail) fin.

The pattern includes 4 pages of templates. The body of the shark spans 2 page so the template pieces will need to be cut out and taped together. The template includes a 1″ scale so you know if it’s printing at full size. Reduce or enlarge the pages to make a smaller or larger stuffed animal.

We’ll include helpful tips throughout like where to start and stop sewing. What tools might make a step easier. The templates are clearly labeled and easy to follow.

The fins are made with a layer of felt or stabilizer which helps them stay rigid yet soft and huggable.

Hammerhead Sharks usually have a litter of pups…so you may need to make more than one!

About Shark Attack Gnome Pin Loom Pattern

The assembled gnome measures about 18″ tall x 7″ wide x 5 1/2″ deep.

The pattern provides a chart of how many shapes are needed and in what color so you can weave them all ahead of time before you begin assembling the project. The yarn used was Lion Brand Basic Stitch.

There are helpful tips in the pattern. For the beard, for example, the pattern will mentioned that the yarn should be attached above the nose so the shark hat covers it. And that a metal cat comb was used to separate the strands making the beard appear more full. And a steam iron will help straighten out the yarn.

The shark is created separately and sits on the gnome like a hat.

The pattern includes a tutorial for making 2 different types of starfish. These were made on 1″ square looms.

Though the pattern is for your eyes only, we encourage you to give away or sell your finished projects.

Enjoy!
