Crochet Dolphin Assembly

  1. Prepare all parts. Use position beads to secure the general position od the abdomen.
  2. Begin sewing by matching corresponding stitches. Keep tension moderate - not too tight.
  3. Attach the dorsal fin. First, secure its position with position beads. Pay attention to your sewing technique while attaching, then repeat the process until secure.
  4. Create eye sockets between rows 15 and 17, positioned 4-5 stitches above the belly line.
  5. Insert eyes, then embroider the white parts of the eyes and eyelashes.
  6. Attach the front flippers. First, secure with position beads, then sew in place. Repeat the same process for the other flipper.
  7. Attach the tail fins. Secure with position beads first, then sew in place. Once complete, repeat for the other side
  8. Finally, use yellow yarn to embroider detail lines. Once complete, your dolphin is finished!

Crochet Tips:

  1. Maintain consistent tension throughout your work to ensure all stitches are uniform in size.
  2. Pull each stitch snug when completing rounds to achieve crisp, well-defined shaping and better overall aesthetics.
  3. Try to use the "X stitch" instead of regular single crochet. This technique creates smaller holes and tighter fabric.
  4. When changing colors, make the color change in the unfinished stitch of the previous round's end. This creates cleaner, more natural-looking color transitions and more polished details.

Assembly Tips:

  1. When attaching the front flippers and tail fins, ensure both sides are evenly positioned and matched.
  2. When joining the body and belly, align them carefully along the center line to prevent crooked seams. You can sew from both sides, use stitch markers for precise positioning, and secure the middle section with glue if needed.
  3. Pay attention to needle placement throughout the sewing process to ensure clean, secure seams.
