The top fin (4 beads) is connected through row 6 and reconnects in row 7. I started at the ‘nose’ and just worked my way to the left. I did draw out how I was going to alter the pattern, but my drawing really stinks and only makes sense to me, probably, so I’m not going to post a picture of that! I based this pattern off of one those that I found. None of the patterns I saw were of a free form, actual, dolphin, they were all just patterns of dolphins in a square or rectangular form. I tried to look up a pattern for a pony bead dolphin, but all the ones that I found really stunk. A very awesome cousin of mine really likes dolphins. Then I remembered that I had pony beads! (I have no idea why, but I do.) So I decided that I was going to make a pony bead animal. So I was getting pretty bored with not really being able to go anywhere because of the weather, so I was just thinking about all the different (and random) things in my craft room. I remember going home and showing my mom how you could weave the string around these beads and make something so cool out of it! I knew that you could make a lizard almost the same way as a snake, and so I remember sitting at the kitchen table, teaching myself how to do so! That’s my first memory of creating something just by thinking things through (other than coloring pictures), and I haven’t stopped since! I don’t remember how old I was when the neighbor across the street taught me and my twin sister (Hi sis!) how to make our first pony bead animal (a snake), but I do know I was pretty young. Do you guys remember making pony bead animals when you were a kid? If you don’t I’m really sorry, because they were a ton of fun to make!
