This blanket is a children / toddler sized blanket. The body of the shark is 27in (68.5cm) to the mouth, the mouth adds an additional 8in (20cm). The body measures 34in (86cm) circumference and is very stretchy.

I would rate these patterns as INTERMEDIATE. However, having some experience reading patterns would be helpful.
