Hey Lovelies! So, the last 2 weeks, as you probably noticed, I couldn’t make a blog post. We just moved, and the lovely people who renovated this place, cut all the internet cables. And guess what, we had to wait forever for someone to fix it. Good timing, to have no internet, in times like we live in now. Oh well, we survived 2 weeks without and we are back online. I am so tired and full of pain from the move though, so it was a challenge to upload a pattern today, a day late, I’m so glad I made it! Today I wanted to show you how to make a Flouder Ufufy, from the Little Mermaid. I hope you will love him a lot!

Assembling

Whenever I start assembling a Amigurumi, I use sewing pins first to put everything together. This way I can move all parts around easily until I am happy with how it looks. Then I will sew it on. I recommend you do so as well.

I started with sewing on Flounder his head fin/hair, the third ‘hair’ with be on top of his head. Make sure to keep checking that the stripes of his body go on the back. Next sew on his snout, mine came around row 8 and down, from the body. Next sew on his arm fins and the tail. Last cut 2 eyes (and eyebrows) from the black felt and glue those on. With a bit of sewing thread I made the eyebrows, since I thought that was easier as the felt, but you can totally do felt as well!

Flounder is already finished, so cute right?! I hope you had fun making him. If you made him, please show me on Twitter or Instagram, I would love to see what you create with my patterns.

Have a wonderful day!

Love
Danielle

Assembling

Whenever I start assembling amigurumi’s, I prefer to use sewing pins first. This way I can position and reposition all parts until I am happy with how it looks. I recommend you do so as well.

First position Flounders snout, just under the middle of the face and sew it on. Along sewing the snout on, make sure to stuff it slightly.
His side fins go just under the first stripe on his back. His back fin start from the first stripe as well. His tail, obviously goes on his behind, or however you wanna call it. Sew all those parts on.
I used embroidery to make his face, but of course you can use felt or anything else instead, just what you prefer. With a bit of pink pastel dust you can make his blushy cheeks.

Optional, to make Flounder’s eyes a bit deeper into the amigurumi, use some yarn on a needle. Make sure to tie a good knot at the end. Now go from a random spot, where you can get the knot through the body, to his eyes, without going through the eye, but just behind the yarn used there. The do the same with the other eye and pull the yarn tightly. You can see you pull the eyes slightly inward. Secure the yarn somewhere tightly where it’s not visible and finish off.

I hope you had fun making Flounder! I think it’s such a fun TsumTsum to make!

Have a wonderful day!

Love
Danielle
