Crown

Sew the sides of the crown together using the tail from one of the sides. Once sewn together, stuff lightly with polyfil, use the other tail to sew the crown to the hat. The crown is attached in the center. The beginning of the crown will start one row above the shell row.


Eyes

Sew the black circle onto the center of the white circle. With the hat laying flat and the crown at the top, place the eyes one row above the pink row and approx. 4 to 5 stitches from the crown. Sew eyes on both sides of the hat. Whiskers

Sew the whiskers 3 rows from the pink row and approx 2 to 3 stitches from the eyes.


Side Fins Sew the fins two rows up from the row you attached the whiskers to.


Tail Fin Using a bit of yarn sew the middle of the tail fin to the tip of the hat.
