The Sharky Penguin

The cute combo under the sea and on land — a tiny penguin waddling around in a shark disguise!

This knitting pattern puts a fun twist on the classic penguin by giving it a removable shark hoodie. It’s so cute and full of personality.

My PDF knitting pattern is written in English and contains 18 pages filled with clear, detailed instructions and over 70 step-by-step photos to guide you through each step. It’s very easy to follow!
