TAIL FINS:
R1: 6 sc in am
V2: 1 sc in each stitch
V3: 6 inc (12)
V4: 1 sc in each stitch
V5: 1 sc, 1 inc (18)
R6-8: 1 sc in each st. Make a sl st in the next st, cut the yarn and knit another flap the same way, except for the last sl st and without cutting the yarn.
Once you have the two fins made, you have to join them, to do this insert the needle into the slip stitch of the first fin you made, that is the first stitch of round 9.

EYES (two per fish)
R1: 6 sc in am (black color)
V2: 1 inc in each stitch (white color) A slip stitch, cut the thread, finish the ends and sew them to the fish with white thread. Embroider the baby's name on the fish by syllables, make as many fish as there are syllables in the name.
MOBILE:
Now it's time to build the mobile. Using thread corresponding to the color of each fish, make a slip knot, insert a pin into the center of the fish and make 50 chains. Repeat the previous step for all the fish, but for each fish make 15 more chains than the previous one.
Once you have made the chains on all the fish, tie the ends to the plastic ring and with the color you prefer, make single crochet stitches covering it completely and hiding the strands of the knots.
Mobile is finished, now hang it in the crib or wherever you prefer!
