Nohy su TERAZ spolu v jednom riadku, to je: 4 ST na kazdej nohe, spolu je to 8 stlpikov v jednom riadku, aby sa tak vytvoril spodok tela

Uhackovala som rozne male oblecenia.

Saty morskej vily sa daju vyzliect....

Ak ma niekto zaujem, mozem napisat postupy na saty, sveter a nohavice tiez.....

Ten isty postup, ale male babiky su z tenkej priadze na hackovanie.

Ten isty postup, ale vacsie babiky su z vlny.

(* /see row before - leave 1 tr st empty/, 2 tr {crochet under row before where 2 ch are} *) - repeat 8 times, slip stitch to close row, [ 20 tr]

Fasten off and weave in end.

(This part is very hard to explain, so I will post picture pattern under this very soon):

CHEST COVER + 2 shoulder straps (in one row 13):

~ see the last row of dress (red row number 12) - leave 9 tr from beginning of row (from back of the dress) - attach WHITE colour.

~ 6 dc, ch 1, turn, 6 dc (on top of the last 6 dc) = chest cover (continue with shoulder strap)

~ 8 ch (first shoulder strap) - slip stitch onto 4th tr from beginning of row (continue with back)

~ 6 dc (on back of the dress), 8 ch (second shoulder strap), slip stich to front of chest cover

~ NOTE: under each arm is left space of 4 tr (of red colour)

MAKE 2 FINS – colour PINK

R 1 - ch 3; tr 11 into 3rd chain from the hook; slip stitch to close row (including chains - 12 tr)
R 2 - ch 2; (* tr, 2 tr into next st *) rep 4 times; into last tr make 3 tr; slip stitch to close row (18 st)
R 3 - ch 1; into next treble make - 1tr, 1 dtr, 1 tr / into next tr - slit stitch

dtr = double treble
Fasten off and weave in ends.

Attach FINS onto end of tail.
