Crochet Seal Assembly

1. Sew sleeves to fins.
2. Secure with pins for body balance.
3. Seam pieces together.

Crochet Tips:

Always stuff the body and head firmly as you go, especially in the neck area, to help maintain the seal's shape and prevent wobbling. Keep consistent tension throughout to ensure pieces fit together neatly.

Assembly Tips:

Use the same color thread as your yarn when sewing parts together for invisible seams. Use positioning pins to check balance and placement before permanently sewing pieces in place.
