Fasten off, leaving a tail for sewing. Using your yam needle, weave the yarn tail through the front loop of each remaining stiteh and pull it tight, elosing off the back of the head. Weave in the yarn end.
body (in lightbiue yarn)
The body is worked in joined rounds. End each round with a slst into the first stiteh of the round. Then pull the yam very tightly. Begin each new round with ch 1 and pull the yarn very tightly. Then complete the first stiteh in the same stiteh where you joined rounds (the ch 1 is connected to this stiteh). Yarn tension should be normal. This willhelp the curve of the belly and tail line up properly.
We start at the tip of the tail.
