Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing

Place both body pieces together – right sides facing outwards

Stop about 5 cm or 4/5 STS from end of half circle,
whipstitch tail onto body – use photos as guide –
I weaved my needle thru both the bottom tail loops and the two loops of the body and continued to whipstitch.

Continue to whipstitch the bottom part of the body until about 8/5 cm from end – stuff body lightly with some fiberfill

 TIP: use a stocking or piece of fabric (I used the cover of a pillow inner) and make a pocket, place stuffing inside of pocket – then stuff the body 🙂 This helps that the stuffing (depending on what kind of stuffing you use) does not pop out in-between the DC stitches!

Close up gap. Fasten off and weave in ends.Glue, Sew or Embroider on some eyes 🙂

Whipstitch two pieces together – no need to stuff 🙂
Fasten off and weave in ends

My daughter calls them fish cookies!
