Secure feet
Using the tail end we left from the feet, sew the feet flat against the body.
Floatie
Tips for colour changes:
Since the floatie is so small and involves a lot of colour changes, save time by not fastening off each time, instead, leave the tail end inside as you work, then pick it up when you’re ready to change colours.
Using white yarn.
Chain 6 then begin in the starting chain:
R1-R3. 6 sc (6) (3 rounds)
Color change to orange:
R4-R6. 6 sc (6) (3 rounds)
Repeat R1-R6 for a total of 6 times.
Your tube size may need to be adjusted depending on your yarn, hook size, and tension. To do this add or remove an extra row.
Once it is the desired size, fasten off leaving a long tail.
Sew the end 6 stitches to the starting 6 stitches, no need to stuff.
