PATTERN - Knitted Fish

Digital Product – Knitting Pattern for Knitted Fish

Turn your yarn scraps into something sweet with this charming little knitted fish – a cozy, colorful project that adds personality to any space. Perfect for kids' rooms, summer cottages, or as a thoughtful handmade gift.

The fish is worked in the round from snout to tail with shaping and stripes, stuffed with pillow filling or yarn scraps, and finished off with a garter stitch tail that's sewn together. An easy and relaxing knit for both beginners and experienced makers who enjoy playful, small-scale projects and a bit of ego knitting.
