The Fish - return!

This is my version of tesselated fish. It is NOT the Knitters Magazine version. DO NOT copy this pattern to any other site, even if you give me credit.

A recipe for Fish

I used size 8 addi turbos and worsted weight wool. (LB Fishermans, Lamb's Pride, Unkown, Doubled Sock Merino)

For larger Fish, use larger wool and needles. For smaller fish, smaller wool and needles.

CO 6
K6

From this point forward – slip the first stitch purlwise. Trust me, you'll appreciate this when its time to seam!

Increase as before (kfb on both ends) on RS until 23 stitches (don't forget to slip first stitch!)

Bind Off


Repeat until you have enough Fish to assemble the afghan of your desire!

Hello It´s a wondeful fishblanket you have done. I wonder? I have translated this pattern to Swedish and there are some women in Skandinavia who would share this with me. We are in a group called hobbyboden.com
Love Susanne

I am going to try making this fish pattern in 100% cotton for a dishcloth. I hope it works. Also, I can not wait to make an afghan out of the fish.

I think this is exactly what I needed! I want an afghan for college, but I get distracted quickly. I'll post pictures on ravelry while I work.

Hi! I love this pattern! I downloaded it last night and I already have 5 fish made! My question is: If your not a crocheter...what's (in your opinion) the best method to attach the fish together for a blanket?

I love this little stroller blanket, my daughter who is now 6 has destroyed her "button" blanket and asked repeatedly for a replacement, I think this will be a good one
Thank you for posting the pattern

I have just found this site and made a fish. I plan to make a big afghan for my husband. So, here's the BIG question: How the heck do we put them together? Are you crocheting them, sewing them or what?

just to let you know, my fish number 136 so far, 91 sewn up and 47 to add. I've not yet done, more sock yarn to use up ... but its a lovely blanket, and a really fun way to use up ends of yarn. Thanks
