PORTHOLES
- Large (make two): Beginning with Yarn C, through rounds of increasing and joining, form the larger portholes, finishing with a slip stitch in the back loop with Yarn A.
- Small (make two): Similarly start with Yarn C and follow steps to create smaller portholes, also finishing with Yarn A.
[Final assembly instructs sewing portholes to the submarine.]
PROPELLERS (MAKE THREE)
