Notes

34 rounds before decreasing. Body one strand of each color. Fin two strands each of pink neon and fuchsia neon. Whip stitched fin to body with 4 strands left when finishing body. Used stitch markers to mark center front and back of body to align with fin.

Note: This took about double the time suggested. 10 hrs. vs. 5 hrs. It was slow going with 4 strands of worsted weight weight yarn. It’s very easy to drop a strand or miss going through a strand. The fin was especially slow. The smaller hook made it difficult to hook all 4 strands. I would recommend 2 strands super bulky yarn vs. 4 strands worsted.
