Introduction

Crocheting is a wonderful hobby that allows you to create beautiful and functional items with just a hook and some yarn. In this article, we will be focusing on making shark mittens. These adorable mittens are perfect for anyone who loves sharks or wants to add a playful touch to their winter wardrobe. Whether you are an experienced crocheter or a beginner looking for a new project, this tutorial is for you.

Materials Needed

Before we begin, let's gather all the materials you will need to make your shark mittens. Here's a list of what you'll need:

1. 5mm crochet hook
2. Yarn needle
3. Stitch marker
4. Black, white, and red yarn
5. Gray yarn (or any color you prefer for the main body of the shark)

Once you have all your materials ready, we can move on to the next step.

Making the Cuff

To start making the shark mittens, we will begin by creating the cuff. Follow these steps:

1. Make a slip knot and chain 12.
2. Single crochet in the second chain from the hook and all the way back across.
3. Chain one and turn your work.
4. Single crochet back across in the back loops only.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for rounds 4 to 23.
6. At the end of round 23, fold your work in half and slip stitch the two sides together to form a circle.
7. That's your cuff finished.

Creating the Thumb Hole

Now, we will work on creating the thumb hole in the shark mitten. Here's how:

1. Chain one and single crochet 23 stitches along the top of the cuff.
2. For the next round, do four half double crochets and then a half double crochet increase.
3. Do one half double crochet in each of the last three stitches.
4. By the end of that round, you should have 27 stitches.
5. For the next round, half double crochet all the way around.
6. Repeat step 5 for the next six rounds.
