Stuff mostly.

Rnd 11: invdec in each st (6)

Stuff fully. Cut the yarn, pull through, and sew closed.

I like sewing on the fins first because they’re slightly easier to know where they’re sewn on.
See video tutorial at (11:42) for detailed instructions for this section.

For the left fin, attach just after before the color change in Rnd 7. One tail end attached to the back of the fin should go into st 24 (the last st) and the other 2 sts away in st 22. Double knot together on the inside and cut close.

For the right fin, the back tail end should go into st 11, and the front 2 sts away in st 13. Double knot together on the inside and cut close.

For the tail, insert one tail end into stitch 3 of Rnd 7.
Insert the other tail end 2 stitches away in stitch number 5, and exit from the stitch between (st 4). Go around the center of the tail and insert back into the same st (st 4). Double knot both tail ends together, pull tightly, and cut close.

To make a horn, cut a pipe cleaner in half. Fold this in half and stick a needle in the end to leave a gap while you twist the pipe cleaner together. Twist the pipe cleaner all the way until about 1” is left untwisted.
Stick the two untwisted ends through 2 parallel stitchess on the body of the whale so that the horn is centered on the face between the eyes. On the inside of the body, twist the ends together to lock the horn in place.

Now, using a long strand of yarn in a contrasting color on a needle, exit the body from one stitch at the base of the horn. Begin twisting up the pipe cleaner to completely cover it in yarn.
When you get to the tip, enter with the needle into the loop at the end and pull through a few times to completely cover the end in yarn as well.
Wind back down the body, trying to leave a noticeable twirl of yarn going back down the horn. Make sure to wind around the base an extra time to make it slightly thicker.
Enter back into the body through the unused stitch at the base of the horn. Double knot to the other tail end and cut close!
