Let the adventure begin!
I am starting with about 11 grams. I have about 6 grams left over.

This little guy was pretty fun. I enjoyed working the shell.
This was my first knit stuffy. Second stuffy ever.

P.S. I love the semi-swirl on his belly.

Notes: I worked the back fins as written, but after working row 13 I took the first stitch worked and passed it over the second stitch (i.e. bound off 1 stitch, then cut the yarn and pulled the loop until it was only a string.

Next time I would:
a) Put the rear fins farther back.
b) Start the 2 rows of head stitches farther apart so he doesn’t have a tiny neck.
c) Try knitting the pieces seperately before adding them on to achieve better limb placement.
