Row 4: sc next sc, 2 sc next sc, around (9)

The body is shaped like an oval, so the arms should be located at one of the ends, rather then in the center. (I hope this makes sense)

Legs: (make 4)
With light blue, 6 sc in magic circle
Row 1-3: sc in each sc a round (6)
Row 4: sc next sc, 2 sc next sc, around (9)
FO and stuff.

Sew legs to body.

There are five pieces of coral branches ‘growing’on Corsola’s body. The smallest is the one located on his forehead, centered between the arms, but up enough to leave room for his face. The two largest are located on either side of his back. The last two are located behind the other two, towards his rear end. You can stuff and sew the coral to his back first and sew the branches on. Or you can sew the branches to the coral and then sew them to the body.
