The Support Shark Sweater
Because they deserve comfy, stylish knits just as much as we do

The jumper is knit seamlessly, starting in the round for the neckline, then working in panels to create openings for each fin before joining back into the round for shaping and casting off.
Designed to fit both sizes of the BLÅHAJ sharks from Ikea.

Aran yarn approx 50g (80g)
4mm and 4.5mm circular or dpns (I used 100cm circulars and left held sts on the needles)
2 stitch markers
A way to place stitches on hold/ out of work

Yarns used
Small was knit in hand-dyed pebble island aran from world of wool
Large was knit in Hayfeild’s bonus aran acrylic
