Fish for Amiga

My cat Amiga is absolutely obsessed with Moeke Yarns Elena. And by obsessed, I mean the drooling, playful, and utterly goofy kind of obsession. I suspect it might be the delightful slight sheepiness that this yarn possesses, which captures her attention. To make her day extra special, I've decided to create something unique just for her using this lovely yarn!

These adorable small fish toys for Amiga are knit entirely in the round, making them both fun to create and delightful to play with. Once the body of the fish is closed, you will knit the tail flat, adding just the right touch of detail. I have also included a handy photo tutorial that guides you on how to seamlessly close the body of the fish, ensuring a smooth knitting experience. Since only small amounts of yarn are used for this project, this pattern is perfect for stash-busting those little odds and ends of yarn you've been saving.

Difficulty Level

This knitting pattern is designed for those with intermediate skills. You will be using several essential techniques, including Judy’s Magic Cast On and knitting in the round. The stitches involved in creating these charming fish include knit, purl, skp (slip, knit, pass), k2tog (knit two together), and m1 (make one). Whether you’re looking to sharpen your knitting skills or create a special toy for your feline friend, this pattern offers a rewarding experience you'll enjoy.

Not only will your beloved cat Amiga appreciate the new fish toy, but you’ll also be creating a fun project that showcases the delightful properties of Moeke Yarns Elena. So grab your needles, unleash your creativity, and let’s bring some joy into Amiga’s life with these little knitted fish!
