To attach each section, you should be able to pull it over the body, but it will be a
tight fit! I would still sew it into place so it doesn’t go anywhere though.

might work better!

Fins – You might want to embroider the yellow pattern
BEFORE you sew these onto the body. In hindsight, that is
what I would have done! – Scroll for pattern
After you finish a fin, crochet along the sides of the border
that won’t be sewn to the body using red. I used size 4 red
yarn and a size 5 crochet hook. I also found that it looked better if you “poked”
you crochet hook through the knit side of the piece first when starting out!

Yellow Pattern: I used yellow size 4 yarn and a slightly larger, curved upholstery
needle. I eyeballed how to position the circles as you may be able to tell!












Eyes – Good luck :/
I used yellow and black embroidery thread
and a small, curved upholstery needle.
Embroider the eye within the largest part of
of each eye section.
