Heard you like blåhaj, let me raise you this colourful shark 🏳️‍⚧️💪

Rambles and link to instructions under the cut.

So I recently learnt how to crochet (after knitting, which I prefer but you can only really make amigurumi with crochet and I enjoy doing that) and uh this took about five hours to finish lmao BUT I FINISHED IT. The eyes are hot glued on and each fin started with a magic ring plus the starting one and the tail is two magic rings I'm so tired of these rings fam. And I was following written instructions and going off a couple of pictures. Well, no need for blåhaj I got the shark with the colours all over it lol wish I could make things like this to sell but they take too long to make and people wouldn't buy them for a fair price anyway so MY TRANS SHARK!

Sike, you can do it it, too, if you come across this kind of yarn and also crochet by following these instructions https://youtu.be/IT-8x3eadGs?si=P3RO1DE6IDvra3xS good luck. That's not my video obviously. Piece of advice if you do: stuff it before reaching the 2 stitches at the tail. When you have maybe 6 or so, stuff that thing, because the hole will be too small otherwise and you'll be stuck shoving the stuffing with a needle and not a lot of wiggle room. And definitely use something to mark the stitches at the start of each row. No need for that lock object. A piece of yarn of a different colour does the job. And you will need a tapestry needle. Plus, if you want to have the stomach be a different colour like this one, you need at least two kinds of yarn. Last piece of advice: don't overstuff if you don't have many hooks. If you do, use a smaller hook (one size down should do the job) than what you're meant to with the type of yarn you're using to have tighter stitches and no holes on the body. It may take longer, but it prevents holes. And the tension is basically really tight aside from the stomach.

This is what not having a PC does to a mf lmao arts and crafts time while squinting at instructions poorly jutted down and listening to the same song over and over and wanting to finish because you know you will drop it if you don't finish it asap lol neurodivergence galore amirite
