Charlie, the fish
Introducing Charlie, the adorable knitted fish that you can create in the comfort of your own home! This charming pattern is designed to be knitted in the round, starting at the mouth and gracefully finishing at the tail. You'll love the versatile construction, which allows you to enhance Charlie's playful look by adding fins. These can be made by either picking up stitches directly on the body or knitted separately and sewn on, giving you the freedom to choose your preferred method.
The pattern includes both detailed written instructions and clear chart instructions for the beautiful stranded colorwork, ensuring that it’s beginner-friendly while still offering challenges for experienced knitters. With a finished toy size of approximately 11.5" (29 cm) long, Charlie is perfect as a cozy home decor piece or a delightful gift for children and fish enthusiasts alike!
For this project, you'll need Dream in Color Classy Worsted yarn, made from 100% Superwash Merino Wool, known for its softness and vibrant colors. The recommended yarn quantities are 250 yards per 4 oz. skein. For Charlie, you'll need 1 skein in the stunning Strange Harvest color and 1 skein in the rich Black Parade shade. Overall, each adorable fish will require approximately 50 – 60 yards (45 – 55 meters) of Strange Harvest (main color) and 20 - 25 yards (18 – 23 meters) of Black Parade (contrast color). Additionally, you'll need a small amount of golden yellow and black yarn to create Charlie's captivating eyes.
