Assembling

Whenever I start assembling a Amigurumi, I use sewing pins first to put everything together. This way I can move all parts around easily until I am happy with how it looks. Then I will sew it on. I recommend you do so as well.

I started with sewing on Flounder his head fin/hair, the third ‘hair’ with be on top of his head. Make sure to keep checking that the stripes of his body go on the back. Next sew on his snout, mine came around row 8 and down, from the body. Next sew on his arm fins and the tail. Last cut 2 eyes (and eyebrows) from the black felt and glue those on. With a bit of sewing thread I made the eyebrows, since I thought that was easier as the felt, but you can totally do felt as well!
