Loomigurmi ClownFish Tutorial (Rainbowloom)

Loomigurumi Clownfish design by me. Took a little longer for me to make this tutorial than I thought. I was hoping to put this one out right after I put the other one. I couldn't decide which clownfish design I liked better so I decided to just make a tutorial for both of them and then you can decide which one you want to make. I really like both of them and I think they are both super cute. This design is fairly easy. The hardest part is probably just adding all the fins but its pretty hard to mess up the fins because even if you do it wrong it will probably look fine. I hope you like this tutorial and I can't wait to see your clownfish :D

Fins
So for the two fins on top and the one underneath stitch 4 times into the fish then tie it off on the same spot as the last stitch. When you tie it don't tie it super tight because we are going to undo it later. Start adding black on the fin on the weird bit that isn't the first loop but its a part of it. Then stitch black into the next 3 loops on the fin. Now undo the slipknot band from earlier and add the black on it and then slipknot it again.
Tiny fins
We will be doing kinda the same thing as before but we will only stitch into the fish 2 times. Then we will tie it off like the other fin. When we add the black it will be on the part that isn't the first loop but is part of it and the 1st loop. Then we will just add it to the slipknoted band and tie it tight.
Side fins
you start by chaining up one then adding 5 stitches in the chain. Then we will tie it into the fish and again we will be tying it not super tight because we undo it later. Then stitch across all the loops on the fin in black. Once you get to the end just undo the slip knot band add the black band to it and then tie it off again but this time tie it tight.
Tail
Start by going in on the back on in the middle but slightly to one side. Chain up one and put four stitches in it. Then go back into the fish and chain up one again and add 5 stitches. then tie it off in the fish tight but not too tight again. Stitch across the tail with black then undo the slipknot band once you get to the end and add it to it. then slipknot it again and tie it tight :)
