I originally designed this guy for a larger project I'm working on, but something about the finished product made me want to share it here instead. Instructions (with chart!) are below.
Finished size: about 6" with tusk.
You'll need a size G hook, worsted weight yarn in two or three colors (not very much!) and a yarn needle for attaching the fins and eyes.
Tusk
The first step is to make the tusk. It's basically a short "spiral staircase" friendship bracelet. Make the first knot small so that the end of the tusk is somewhat pointed. Continue the tusk for 2", then finish off with a really big knot - you'll need it to be large to prevent the tusk from slipping out of the body.
Body
Let me know how it turns out!
