Nemo is knitted flat, the body has one seam along the bottom, the fins are two knitted pieces seamed together to give a feeling of quality to the finished item.

Step by step instructions are given for each piece required and there is a section at the end, with photos, to show you how to put everything together

German Short Rows are used to give a curved shaped to the middle white area, step by step instructions are given on how they will be worked.
This curved area gives a distinctive look to Nemo, however, if short rows are not something you wish to work with then instructions are given to make this area a regular stripe as an alternative
