THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WRITING THIS DOWN. I was a bit confused with her instructions and tbh english isn't my first language😅 I really hope you have a wonderful day!

Not gonna lie this was super confusing to follow, there weren't any captions saying the rounds and I find that really helpful when watching these

[@AcaciaCopley]

Thank you for the feedback!

[@cheyennebamford56]

@@kaitlynnn23 except that she skipped at least one row; and she works really fast and that can be hard for some people to follow

[@cheyennebamford56]

@@kaitlynnn23 she did though lol it’s in the written but not in the video. Even with pausing, it’s hard to follow how fast she works for VISUAL LEARNERS

[@cheyennebamford56]

@@kaitlynnn23 dude you’re not understanding that some of us can’t understand written patterns yet. It’s not helpful when she skips an entire row in a section in the video, especially when it’s someone’s first time seeing her videos and don’t know where to find the written. The only reason I knew is because someone else in the comments pointed it out. Sorry we aren’t all crochet geniuses but you’re being really rude for no reason.

[@sarahcook98]

Agreed this pattern was super difficult to follow

[@juanitacox4682]

Thank you so much for the pattern. I did find a few discrepancies but was able to figure it out. I love to crochet and have taught other to crochet but I don't think I could do the job you did. It is harder than people think. Thanks again. When I made the body I decided to sc around the edge and finished off with an invisible close. This made it a little large and cleaner looking.

[@AcaciaCopley]

Wonderful! Thank you! Sorry you had trouble!

[@oteplomboy5288]

I'm 10 and I'm making this for my mom ty for the pattern

[@marissacraft2174]

This is the first stuffed animal I’ve ever crocheted! My son loves him. I added little pink cheeks and some white half way around the eyes. I love this little shark.

[@Potatoinatree]

I love this channel, i know the videos may not be best for begins but the patterns are SO GOOD!

[@nicolemaxwell2943]

I figured out the belly! R1 Ch 3, sc in second ch from hook, sc, ch 1, turn. 2sts R2 2sc across ch 1, turn. R3 inc, rep 2 times ch 1, turn. R4 4sc across ch 1, turn. R5 inc, 2sc, inc ch 1, turn. R6 6sc across ch 1, turn. R7 inc, 4sc, inc ch 1, turn. R8 8sc across ch 1, turn. R9 & R10 2 rounds of 8sc ch 1 and turn both rows.

[@rosegray3331]

FYI - the video tutorial does not match one part of the white belly section - the first row of 12 and 14 are different than written.

[@reeannemartinez8413]

Yeah I’m following the written because she goes so fast… and I tried watching and listening and they’re two totally different things.. what did you do to finish your shark? Did you just follow the written?

[@AcaciaCopley]

The written instructions are correct! Sorry about that

[@cheyennebamford56]

Thank you because I’ve redone that part 4 times like “where did these extra stitches come from??”

[@heatherpopham5796]

Just finished mine. Love it. Easy pattern. Thanks ❤

[@AcaciaCopley]

Wonderful! Thank you!

[@lucywallis8259]

Does anyone else find the belly white piece very confusing

[@TheBee__D]

I don't suppose up have a crab tutorial? This one was awesome. My shark looks so cool thankyou 💖

[@AcaciaCopley]

Not yet! It might be coming soon! I'm hopefully going to start tutorials again now that I'm feeling better.

[@slimey_diamond]

My sister is gonna love this if i can pull it off :D

[@Bruh-dj5nz]

16:13 I'm having a crisis. You did 8 sc where do you get the extra 4 hoops from

[@AcaciaCopley]

sorry, my computer was being worked on so hopefully you figured it out! I did an increase in the first 2 and last 2 stitches so you should have 4 extra stitches in that row!

[@virginiahall5575]

I consider myself an intermediate crocheter. I too found parts quite confusing (used my experience to correct issues). The white belly portion, for example, goes from 8 stitches across to the next row: “2 increases, 8 single crochet, 2 increases, for a total of 14 stitches “. First of all, how do you go from the row of 8 stitches to that row? Did we miss a row? Maybe increase, sc 6, then increase? But that would only give us 12.

[@AcaciaCopley]

Yes, I'm sorry. I did make a mistake in the video but it's correct in the written pattern in the description.

[@lorifitzgerald-leger6503]

Thank you for sharing this pattern tutorial 💜😊

[@MNeko]

Explaining what "Increase" and "Decrease" means would be helpful if another tutorial is made. I had to go to another video to learn what those meant and how to do them. It was a bit frustrating. But, this is the only shark pattern I can find that makes enough sense to follow

[@AcaciaCopley]

Sorry about that! These are done assuming you know the basics including inc, dec, chain, sc, dc, slst, and magic circle

[@9674virgo]

I liked your video and thought you did a good job. I usually use a stitch marker! How did you do it without one? very cool.

[@AcaciaCopley]

Thank you so much! I usually use yarn as a stitch marker but recently got one and now I won't go back!

[@youremyfavoritesong9868]

Hi! Are you okay with me selling these sharks on my Etsy? With credit, of course

[@AcaciaCopley]

I have no problem with people selling from my patterns!

[@pi.314xyz]

hey! i know on your about page you said it’d be fine to sell items made using your patterns, would you prefer to be credited for the pattern?

[@AcaciaCopley]

Sorry, I just saw this. To those that read this, no credit needed

[@ducklings45]

On the giraffe crochet video you didnt show how to make those ears and now i cant finish it

[@AcaciaCopley]

Sorry! I'm not sure why half my comments have been disabled. 5.7.7.14.7 for the ears.

[@Pixel_Pulse-w7r]

How you make those look so hard

[@AcaciaCopley]

sorry!

Hi there! I hope you are well! Did I ever tell you I made a giant one of these? ang in Olympia WA

I’m doing okay! I think so! Was it the one hanging in your office?

That's totally fine!!

⁠@@AcaciaCopleyTysm! I really appreciate it! :DDD

[@Ur.locaI.artist]

I don’t mean to overstep but why have you stoped posting? ( it’s ok if your not comfortable answering that I’m just wondering)

[@AcaciaCopley]

It's okay! I'm fine to talk about it haha I have a lot of mental illness. When I started this channel it was supposed to be a few videos for my little cousins I was teaching to crochet. At the time I was barely functioning and not sleeping for 3 days at a time for a very long period of time. I got help and was diagnosed with bipolar. As I started getting treatment, my panic disorder got worse. When I try to film I start having panic attacks. Which is why a lot of the parts of the videos are so cut up and short because I was editing all my hyperventilating out haha I do want to start videos again, but it's been so long that it feels weird now.

[@Ur.locaI.artist]

@@AcaciaCopley ohhh ok I’m glad you feel safe enough to talk about it and Im glad your getting better also I know it’s tough getting back to things like social media but you got it I believe you (1. Ignore my crappy grammar 2. I’m not trying to force you or push you to making a video just trying to in courage you 3. Your doing great and I hope you get even better😁😁😁 sending love)

[@Anna-tt8ey]

Hello, I want to start it but it look like a lot of yarn and i'm afraid to be out of yarn in the middle of my project. I saw u responded to some of the comments not long ago, so I was wondering if u could tell me how much yarn do you think it needs ?

[@AcaciaCopley]

I'd say about a large fist size should be enough for the main color!

[@Anna-tt8ey]

@@AcaciaCopley okay thank u so much! I was scared not to have enough :)

[@crochetart2691]

Very Beautiful 👍👍👍👍👍👍⚘🌹🌷

[@Mawqu]

does sc, inc (9) mean that sc inc, sc inc, sc inc times 9? But when im doing it like that it just becomes a waffle and not like a cone shape

[@AcaciaCopley]

It means to do an sc in one stitch and in increase in the next until you get 9 in the row. So you would repeat 3 times.

[@Customartandcrochetbysavanna]

For the body for this pattern is it 7 sc and a increase or sc around x 5. I was confused on that.

[@AcaciaCopley]

sc around x5

[@ffchic18]

It seems like it should have been 5sc 1inc to get 21 stitches, then 6sc 1inc to get 24 stitches.

[@crafty_viv2498]

@@ffchic18 yep. I tried doing it the original way and it wouldn’t go in equally

[@cheyennebamford56]

This is a cute pattern but really confusing for people like me who do best with following along instead of reading the written… you work extremely fast and talk really fast too, and at one point I think you left out a row? Idk. It’s confusing to me 😢

[@AcaciaCopley]

Thank you for the input!

[@maebhpyles4079]

Do you know how many yards you used for the body?

[@AcaciaCopley]

Sorry, no idea!

[@deannerauscher213]

Wish you would explain better where you start your single crochet. Directions not very clear where your stitches are going and into which holes.

[@AcaciaCopley]

I'm sorry you had difficulties. This is not a beginner crochet along. Where to put single crochet into the magic circle and increase, decrease is assumed to be known.

[@chloevega5711]

what weight is your yarn??

Size 4 red heart super saver

[@mesagirl224]

Do you have a pattern for a 12 in Baby Shark, like the baby shark in the cute song?

[@AcaciaCopley]

Sorry, this is all I have!

[@dryartesa8943]

Ele fica com quantos centímetros?

[@AcaciaCopley]

about 20cm

[@vondastrauser4428]

Hi all. Has anyone crocheted teeth for this one? I'd like to put teeth on it but not sure how to. Thanks!!

[@AcaciaCopley]

Might look a little weird without a bottom jaw but you could stitch a few on with a needle, use some felt, or the crochet option you chain as long as you want the base to be. slst in the first stitch. the next will be your first tooth base, ch 2 or 3 depending on length and slst to the base. if you want lots of teeth start the next in the next stitch. if you want it spaced out slst in the next. do this across!

[@nallelylopez9908]

Your videos are ver helpful and understandable can you do a dolphin 😊

[@AcaciaCopley]

Great suggestion! I haven't made a video in 2 years but my mental health is a lot better now. I'm hoping to start again soon

[@fatemaeissa3134]

If I need it bigger than 45cm, what should I do?

[@AcaciaCopley]

Use a larger hook and thicker yarn!

[@Torahcreates]

R U ALIVE?

[@AcaciaCopley]

Yes! Just struggling with mental illness!

[@TrulyBagel]

your written pattern and ur video are 2 different things this dont make sense

[@AcaciaCopley]

I know I messed up one row in the video but this is 3 years old. If you let me know which part I can clarify. It's likely the written pattern is correct

[@zparkles]

thank you for this!!!

[@rubynemetz3021]

My fins all ended up straight and not circle shaped at all… probably my fault haha

[@AcaciaCopley]

Oh, no! Did you line the hdc up?
