Body: 4 strands Iris Caron Simply Soft, 15mm hook

Rows 1 to 30- 42 stitches
Row 31- decrease in first 2 and last 2 stitches of row (40 stitches)
Row 32- 40 stitches
Continue to rounds as written

Fin: 3 strands Fuchsia Neon, 11.5 mm hook

Note: 2nd time to make this pattern. This time about 6 hrs. to complete. Using 4 strands of a thinner worsted weight yarn went much faster. The hook did not drop strands as much, but the holes are larger than the first one made. 3 strands of a thicker worsted weight yarn worked well for the fin.
