Embroidering the spotsUsing white yarn and your knitter’s sewing needle, embroider a series of white marks onto the blue part of the body in a similar pattern to the one on the title page. The patterns on Whale sharks are like our fingerprints, each shark is different, so don’t worry too much about getting the marks in the right spot.
