R5 bring middle finger (longer one) and continue with 3sc over middle finger, bring
the next finger. You will make 6sc over this finger, working around the finger
pointing to back side of middle finger direction; continue stitching 3sc of middle

R12 sc7, ch1 fold the last row in half and slip stitch through 7 stitches (this can be
difficult as the piece is small, if you find it easier, you can sew the back instead).
What we have done here, is closed the foot. Now it is round, opened only on top side,
where we’ll continue with crocheting the leg.
Reaching the end – closing the back of the foot (after 7 sts made) change color to
yellow.
Add more stuffing to the foot and continue stuffing the leg as you go.
R13 make 12sc around the top edge of the foot made (continue working in continuous
rounds)

have made back loops on all, legs, arms and neck, but added fringes only around neck
area.)

round 19.

Black pupils are placed in the inner sides of eyes, between rows 2-3. I have painted
mine, but if you are using safety eyes or beads this is the place where to position
them.
White eye parts are placed next to each other on the upper half side of the head. (eyes
and mouth piece will meet on the middle of the head (so pay attention to that).
Nose will be placed the way to touch the outer eye line and will go through 4-5
rounds over the mouth piece.

Position the belly on the lower side of the body and sew it nicely.
Tail
Sc6 in magic ring
R1-… make tail as long as you like using 6sc Marsupilami has very long tail. I
suggest making it 26 cm (12”). That size won’t make it too long and will still be nice
and long
Last 5 rounds *inc1, sc2* x2 (8 sts), next 4rounds stitch 8sc for firmer tail body
connection.
Tie off leaving long end for sewing.
Time to sew all body parts together.
Connect head and body. Sew on the arms. Place them around rounds 24-25. Round 25
needs to be left free as you will put additional hairs here to create fur around neck.
At the end place on and sew the ears. Sew them on top sides of the head, rounds 5-6.
When sewing use one round stitches on the head and sew through both loops of the
ears. Try to make them point upwards so ears can appear fluffy and in motion.
At the end sew the tail on.
Position it centered on the lower back side of the body, 5-6 rounds upwards from feet
connected round.
What is left is to embroider black spots on it’s body.
Making fur around neck (arms and legs) is optional.
As you could see, I left front loops on arms, legs and around neck area. I have put on
these extra hairs around neck only.
It is done as making hair. You will hook and knot yarn pieces through front loops, and
when all done, trim it in V shape (longer points in front and back).
I have also added a fish Marsupilami holds in his hand. You can add it as well if you
wish.

By now fish should be stuffed well. Tie off leaving long end for sewing. Thread the
needle with excess yarn and close the last round nicely.
Upper fin, slip stitch to 8th round top stitch on the body (work through top stitches of
rounds8-5) ch1, hdc in same st, 2dc in next two sts, hdc in 4th
st and sc in same
Tie off, hide ends
Lower side fins
Here start at 7th
round stitch; ch1, hdc in same stitch, 2dc in next st, hdc &sc in third st
(tie off, hide ends)
Repeat at both sides paying attention to make them as symmetrical as possible.
With white yarn and embroidery needle sew on the eyes. With black thread ad pupils
on top of each eye.
Hope the fish was not difficult to make and it ended up cute.
