Add the eyes between rows 5-6.

17: (2SC, dec) 3 times. [9]

18: 9SC. [9]

19: 9SC. [9]

Now make the end of the tail flat and horizontal to see if your stitches line up the way the tail should align with the body. You need to have 5 stitches on the bottom and 4 on top.

Tail Part 1 Instructions

Use the same color as the body or some colorful, flowery colors.

This part will be the bottom part of the tail, made with the 5 stitches mentioned earlier. This part won’t be made in continuous rounds.

1: 5SC, turn. [5]

2: Inc, 3SC, inc, turn. [7]

3: Inc, 3SC, turn. [5]

4: 4SC, inc, turn. [6]

5: (4SC in the next st) 5 times, SlSt. [21]

As you noticed from row 3 onwards, you don’t use all the stitches on the tail. That’s because the tail is split up in the middle. Repeat row 3 to 5 again from the outer stitch of the tail. The middle stitch of row 2 is used for both sides of the tail, be aware of that.

Fasten off and weave in all the tails that might be there.

Tail Part 2 Instructions

Use the same color as the body or some colorful, flowery colors.

This part will be the upper part of the tail, made with the 4 stitches mentioned earlier. This part won’t be made in continuous rounds.

1: 4SC, turn. [4]

2: 3SC in the next st, 1SC, turn.

3: 1SC, (4SC in the next st) 3 times. [13]

Same as with Part 1 of the tail, you need to repeat row 2 and 3 to complete the tail.

Fasten off and weave in any tails.

Fins (Make 3)

Use the color Blue.

1: 4SC in a Magic Ring. [4]

2: (1SC, inc) 2 times. [6]

3: (inc) 2 times, 2SC, (inc) 2 times. [10]

Fasten off and leave a long tail for sewing.

Flower Instructions

Use the color Red.

In a Magic Ring, crochet: (Ch2, 2DC, Ch2, 1SC) 5 times.

Pull tight and leave a long tail for sewing. Add a pearl or anything you would like in the middle of the flower.

Assembly Instructions

For any amigurumi I’m going to assemble, I use sewing pins first. This way, I can move parts around until I am happy with the outcome, and then sew them on. I would recommend you do so as well!

For this amigurumi, there is not much to assemble, just the back and side fins and the flower if you choose to make it. Add all these on where you think it’s cute.

And that was it for this floral dolphin!
