Patterns are free for personal use. I did not test this pattern, it is free partly because of that. There may be some typos. If you have questions, hit me up on twitter or instagram @andreacrochets.
Do not sell anything made from my patterns unless for charity/non-profit purposes.
You will need:
- F hook
- skin color yarn (i used a grey shade of red heart yarn)
- shorts color yarn (i used a light blue shade of old lion brand yarn i had)
- dark red yarn for inside the mouth (i used old scrap yarn)
- white yarn for teeth (i use red heart in white)
NOTE: this pattern is worked from the head down to the toes, with separate pieces to sew on such as:
arms, fin, teeth, and mouth lining. I like to start my amigurumis with a Ch 2, but you can start yours with a
magic ring if you prefer that method!

Now we will make the OTHER leg I will label it rnd 24 again because we are going back to rnd 24. Make a slipknot with a long tail, you will need the tail to sew the crotch shut later. Single crochet into the next free stitch from where you left off in round 24.
OTHER leg rnd 24 - sc 15, leave the tail poking out and start the next round as normal
continue the rest of the leg as you did the first leg, make sure the toes are facing the same way. if they are not, you might need to offset by a stitch or 2.
