Sew on the sides with a thread of the same color.
Fins
We make a tightening, raise the tail and sew the formed folds, from top to bottom – from bottom to top. Cut out 2 ovals with a diameter of 2 cm from white felt, glue the eyes on them, and glue the felt with an eye to the head on the sides, about 24th row.
Sew on eyes with black thread. Insert the needle on the right side just above the middle of the eyes, and draw it out on the left side 2 sc further.
Secure the yarn with a black sewing thread so that no loose ends remain visible.
Next, create the mouth by inserting the black yarn on one side and bringing it out on the opposite side. Fix the mouth in place with a thin thread, as indicated by the arrows in the photo.
Create the eye tightening.
Insert the needle at the point shown in the photo and bring it out near the left eye, slightly below the center.
Insert the needle back into the stitch directly above the exit point.
Then bring the needle out just below the center of the right eye, insert it into the stitch above, and finally bring it out at the point where the tightening began.

We fix the thread and draw it out with a needle from below (belly)
Cut off the thread
