Finish Sperm Whale

Nun können wir den gehäkelten Pottwal zusammen nähen. Bevor du damit beginnst, solltest du zuerst alle Teile mit Stecknadeln anstecken. So findest du die richtigen Positionen besser und kannst noch einfach Korrekturen vornehmen.

Zuerst werden beide tailflossen zur Hälfte zusammen genäht. Dabei liegen die offenen Seiten flach aneinander und die Kerben befinden sie auf einer Seite. Verwende ein neues Fadenende vom Häkelgarn und beginne in der Mitte und nähe beide Teile nach hinten zusammen und wieder zur Mitte. Anschließend werden die Fadenenden im Inneren der tailflosse gesichert.

Anschließend setzt du die tailflosse auf die hintere Spitze des bodys. Sie sitzt seitlich gesehen jeweils in einer Linie zur nosenspitze und den Eyes und von oben gesehen flach in der Mitte. Verwende nun beide Fadenenden, um die tailflosse jeweils von links und von rechts anzunähen.

Nun nähst du die Seitenflossen an den body. Sie sitzen jeweils rechts und links waagerecht etwas unter dem Eye zwischen der 39th und 41st Runde des bodys. Dabei bildet die Flosse waagerecht keine Linie, sondern zeigt hinten leicht nach oben. Auch hier verwendest du wie gewohnt die Fadenenden und sicherst sie zum Schluss im Inneren des bodys.

Dann nähen wir nur noch die Rückenflosse an, welche mittig auf dem body sitzt und bei der 50th Runde des bodys beginnt. Nähe sie so an, das sie von oben betrachtet genau in einer Linie zu nosenspitze und tailspitze steht.

Zuletzt stickst du noch mit blackem Darning Yarn einen Maul auf. Hier ist es sehr hilfreich die Route zuerst mit Stecknadeln abzustecken, da sie sehr groß ist. Das Maul verläuft U-förmig von vorn nach hinten und geht kurz hinter den Eyes weit auseinander. Hier solltest du unbedingt prüfen, das auch die Seitenansicht stimmt.

Gratuliere! Dein gehäkelter Pottwal ist fertig! Bis bald!
