I started by making a crochet fish wash cloth that Leslie thought was cute for baby Sonja. I’m not much for crocheting and wasn’t
completely pleased with the result (top fish in picture). I then found a knit
pattern on Ravelry, so decided to try it. Thought it was too big (bottom fish …
didn’t even get an eye). Next, I sort of made up my own pattern (the center
fish) which I like except that the star pattern wasn’t that easy to do trying
to purl 3 together with cotton yarn that doesn’t like to stretch much, and wish
I had used a brighter color. I’ll probably make at least one or two more to see
if I can perfect something cute. Saturday, January 23, 2016

The star pattern is so sweet on your own creation! These would also be cute stocking stuffers, Father's Day treats, or birthday treats done in "trouty" colours for our fishermen!
ReplyDeleteI love the colorful one at the top. If it were me (but I don't knit, only crochet) I think I would just try to make the pattern bigger.
ReplyDeleteThese are so very cute.
