Chubby Bobby

These adorable chubby fish cuties are the perfect addition to any child’s room decor and are great companions for little ones heading off to school or splashing around in the pool with friends. Not only do they make delightful toys, but they are also excellent at cleaning up those leftover bits of yarn you may have lying around. Whether you want to add them to a baby’s mobile, incorporate them into your nursery decor, or create a charming and interactive toy by adding a little bell, these fish are sure to become a favorite!

Knitting this lovely toy is an enjoyable experience that requires basic skills, but don’t worry if you’re not a knitting pro! You should know how to knit in the round and flat while also being familiar with basic increases and decreases. The fish pattern is designed to be knit with the body and tail crafted in one seamless piece, while the fins are picked up and knit directly onto the body. If you prefer, you can also knit the fins separately and sew them onto the body later for a more personalized touch.

The gauge is not overly critical for this project, but to ensure a plush appearance, it’s recommended to use needles at least one size smaller than what is suggested for the yarn. This will help prevent the fiberfill from showing through and will keep your finished fish looking neat and cuddly. Dive into this delightful knitting project today and create a collection of these charming fish that your little ones will adore!
