LITTLE SHARK

I have recently made my wife a shark amigurumi using a pattern I found online.  She has been teasing me that I could not make a little shark to go with the large one.  I keep telling people, along with her, never give someone with a creative mind a challenge because they will always complete the challenge with success.  Here is the pattern that I came up with to complete this challenge.
