Tips for the Whale Ride
The whale is a rounded body with a tail fin and a friendly face, big enough for the astronaut to ride on its back. The astronaut sits with legs straddling the whale, holding on with both hands. A small water spout made from white loop stitches rises from the whale's head like a fountain of stars.
