Adding the Face:
Start by adding the eyes. Both eyes go in Rnd 7 The right eye goes in stitch 2, and the left goes in stitch 6. Try to get the eye into the center of the stitch, it helps to use a darning needle poked through and twisted to create space to more easily fit the eye into.
You can use an extra strand of Green yarn sewn from behind the eyes to create bags under the eyes or an angry emotion.
Now add a mouth between the eyes by simply embroidering it using a strand of Pink yarn.
Sew on the Ear Fins 3 sts away from each eye.
Sew on the Mohawk Fin going from the center of the top down to Rnd 9.
Rnd 11: sc 4, sc 1, sc 8, sc 1, sc 4 (18)
