Whale Shark

Our theme this year is “The Biggest Animals in the Ocean,” and we’re excited to share our adorable whale shark knitting pattern! Real whale sharks can grow up to an astonishing 33 feet, making them the largest fish in our oceans. This knitted whale shark pattern features a delightful creature that measures almost 2 feet long and is crafted using size 13 needles and super bulky yarn. For those looking for a more compact version, you can easily create a significantly smaller whale shark by simply switching to smaller needles and thinner yarn!

To successfully knit this whimsical whale shark, you'll need to be comfortable knitting in the round, performing simple increases and decreases, and executing a bit of colorwork. However, if you're not quite ready for colorwork, don’t worry! There’s an option to skip it and add the colors later using the popular technique of duplicate stitch.

This whale shark knitting pattern is perfect for intermediate knitters who love sea creatures and want to create a fun, unique project. Whether you’re making it for yourself, a friend, or as a gift for a child, this charming whale shark will be a delightful addition to your knitting collection. Dive into your next knitting adventure with this fun and engaging whale shark pattern today!
