Shark-attack hat

Crafster user 3RaysOfSunshine made this wonderful shark-attack hat for her son. I wish I had one to wear to my next court-appearance!

I made this hat for my son - he wanted a mean shark. I saw the dead fish hat pattern and loved the idea - I just varied the pattern quite a lot to make different looking species. And felted it so it looks like it jumped out of the water and landed on his head... I basically cast 90 stitches onto a size 9 circular needle and winged it from there. I used Patons wool and it felted great.

Needs bright red yarn streamers dangling from the jaws to simulate blood.

There are a bunch of different animalsthat would work well with this concept:
-octopus
-rooster (but not the mouth end)
-goldfish
-bull dog
-sea turtle

I'm gonna open an etsy store.

This is not original. I saw it 2 years ago in Farglory Seapark, Hualian, Taiwan.

The people who are saying we can buy the hat, are kind of missing the point. Some of us like to knit...
