Crochet Tips
Crochet each part by creating magic ring and work in single crochet (US) following charts, increasing and decreasing as indicated. When finished, leave yarn tails. Use those yarn tails to sew all parts together. Insert stuffing into head, legs, flippers, and tail, then sew smoothly to abdomen. Seam shell to abdomen with whipstitch, aligning approximately 3 stitches on one side to every 2 stitches on the other. Insert stuffing and seam remaining openings.
