    The work begins at the head. If you are
    2 pfb, P4, pfb 8 choosing to knit in the round, it is helpful to
    work the first 6 rows flat, which should aid in
    3 knit the embroidery of the eyes.

    Break yarn, leaving tail. Place the first and last 2 stitches of the row on holder or scrap yarn.
    Reintroduce thread and work the middle 4 stitches, starting on right side. You can knit the
    following portion flat or use double-pointed needles to work an i-cord.

    TAIL (TOP FIN)

    1 knit 4 Break yarn leaving long tail, pull through and


    tighten. Place the remaining bottom stitches
    2 purl back on the knitting needle and repeat the
    steps for the remaining fin.

    3 (k2tog)* 2
    If knitting flat, stitch each half of the tail closed.
    4 p2tog x If you worked i-cord, I suggest stitching
    through the tail a few times as you proceed Ito
    
 stitch toward the body. This helps to flatten the
    tail fins.

    FINISHING:

    Stitch the body closed using mattress


    stitch. Fill lightly as you progress with
    the sewing.

    When you get to the head, make the


    eyes. Begin by using a small
    embroidery needle threaded with very
    light-weight white or yellow thread to
    form a series of small chain stitches in
    a tight closed circle. Pull all excess
    thread through to the interior. Use the
    black embroidery thread to make a
    single stitch in the center of the white
    circle. Repeat on the opposite side.
    Tuck in all loose ends and finish sewing
    the head shut.

    Enjoy your Anchovy! For best results, be sure to use light-weight


    thread for the embroidery portion!
