First stitch |
Ready to work |
Work on the back |
Make a chain, turn the work over and do:
1 sc, 1half double sc, 2 double sc, 1 half double sc, 1 sc, knit a very low stitch to block the work and put the wool needle back on, the work on the back is finished, now let's move on to the belly.

Point the needle and pass it on the belly at the same height |
Point the needle so that the thread passes at the same height as the base of the fin on the belly, in order to repeat the identical upper fin on the belly.
Repeat same works like on the back:

Thread the wool needle again, the work on the belly is finished, now let's move on to the tail.
Tip in the last mesh of the fin at the base of the tail |
Hide the thread along the tail |
Pass the thread to the base of the tail then hide it along the tail in order to get to the tip.
From the tip of the tail we sew very simply.

We sew the tail along the edge |
Once you are done sewing, close the work and cut the thread. Finished!
A bit complicated for the passages between tail and fins but in this way we don't have to detach and reattach the wires every time. If you are not good at hiding and attacking them well they are ugly to see and it is a very cumbersome job.
The steps are much easier to do than to see, I assure you, if you have already done some or are practical with crochet you will not have problems.
If you are a beginner I recommend other projects to get carried away, you can find more simple ones here on the blog, browse the Pattern / tutorial section that you find at the top.
If you need a hand, leave a comment or write me an email.
Good job!!
