Info :
You can decorate flippers: work sl st with semi-cotton yarn in plush stitches.
— Attachment and decoration :
Info :
Use some piece of working thread or tooth floss to fix the end of the bottom in a bent position. I've used tooth floss.
Info :
In fact, you must sew the end of body to the main piece. Choose the attaching point on your own: if you sew higher, the tail will curl better; if you sew down the tail will curl less.
Info :
Fix the head with a knitting needle and sew it to the body with a tooth floss or semi-cotton thread of the same color as plush one. Fill some fiber in the process to avoid head hanging.
Info :
Attach fringe and mane. Fix the fringe with the 1st stitch along the centre between ears and then sew from right to left. Pin the central tress of the mane (yellow one) in 3 points: to the top, in the center and the bottom of the back and then sew the tress down. Attach the rest of tresses in the same way, allocating them in both sides from the central piece.
Info :
Attach the tail to the back (along 22/23 rows of the body). Firstly sew the yellow tress and then the other ones. Try to attach orange and green tresses in the same place between plush sc as yellow one. Skip a bit to the right and to the left from previous tresses while attaching pink and blue ones.
Info :
Attach flippers to both sides of the body along 32/38 rows (count up). Allocate a big flipper higher, and a small one - down a bit. Unfixed ends of flippers can curl a bit. I recommend you to fix them with some stitches in thread of the same color as plush one or working thread.
Info :
Embroider the lines along the belly with all yarn colors - 2 lines of each color. Our sea unicorn is ready:)
