Goldeen Amigurumi Pattern

Goldeen Pokemon Amigurumi

I recently made a MagiKarp for my daughter as she has one for her "buddy"on  PokemonGo. The pattern for MagiKarp can be found on Crochetnanigans.   During my search for patterns, I came across Goldeen, but never found a pattern for one.  Here's my attempt.

I use thread as I wanted a smaller piece.  I love using Lizbethread.  I think it is easier to use as it keeps shape and doesn't seem flimsy.   



Materials:
Thread size 10
     Colors: White, Orange or Orange mix (orange crush 183), pink, and yellow
Crochet Hook size 7 
Needle to attack pieces
Felt piece for eyes: white, black, and blue

Abbreviations
ch – chain
ss – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
hdc- half double crochet
dc- double crochet
dtc- double treble crochet
dec – decrease
st – stitch
fo – finish off
repeat * – repeat what is in between *

chain 3 dc in first st and next st =2  (chain does not count as st) turn 
chain 3 2 dc in each st = 4 turn
chain 3 dc in first st dc in next st until the end 2 dc in last st = 6 turn
chain 3 dc in first st dc in next st, dc dec over next two st, dc in next st, and 2dc in the last= 7 turn  
 
chain 3 , dc dec over next 2 st, dc dec, dc, and dc in last st = 5 turn
chain 3, dc dec, dc dec = 3 
Finish off weave in end 


Return to base- skip four st and join
chain 3 dc in same st, 2 dc in next st = 4 turn
chain 3 dc in same st, 2 dc in each remaining st =8 turn
chain 3 dc in same st, dc in next 3 sts, 2 dc in next st, dc in next 2 sts, 2 dc in last st, =11 turn
chain 3 and dc in first st, dc dec, dc in next 2 sts, dc dec, dc dec, dc, 2dc in last st = 10 end
chain 3 and dc in fist dt, dc dec 4 times 2dc in last st = 8 turn
