row 16: (change color and to e hook): chain 1, 2 sc in same space, 3 sc in each dc across, finish off
Fins:
using size g hook, attach yarn and 6 sc in one of the ch-5 loops.

row 2: (change color & to f hook) chain 4, 2 tr in same space, 3 tr in each sc across, turn
row 3:(change color & to e hook) chain 1, 3 sc in same space, 4 sc in each tr across, finish off.
Repeat for other side fin.
Eyes (make 2)
using size g hook, 6 sc in ring, sl st to first sc, chain 1, 2 sc in each sc around, finish off.
Finishing:
sew eyes to the head of the fish, glue google eyes to the center of crochet eyes. Weave in all ends.
Don’t forget!!! Stuff with stuffing before you close him up (around round 7 or 8), I also added a jingle bell in there!
I like the end of the tail best.

Your fish are so great!
I tried doin one yesterday, and I have done the eyes, and the fishbody, but I cant make the fins to work for me. :S The dont yet that curly that your fins are.
Is it possible to take a picture on a fin and show me on a close-up? That would be so great, cause I really would like to finish my fancy fish! 🙂
Can you tell me what the magic ring method is.
Thanks
Joyce
