Orange Roughy

Introducing the Orange Roughy Pattern, the third design featured in the Summer of Sea Creatures 2020 initiative. This year, we’re shining a spotlight on endangered marine species, and we invite you to participate by knitting this charming pattern while raising awareness about these remarkable animals. Connect with our knitting community by tagging us @yarnigans or using the hashtag #summerofseacreatures on Instagram. Thank you for celebrating the fifth year of Summer of Sea Creatures with us!

The Orange Roughy pattern is constructed in several pieces that are sewn together to create a delightful and eye-catching sea creature. While gauge is not a critical factor for this project, I recommend using worsted weight yarn and size 3 needles to achieve a tight and dense fabric. However, feel free to experiment with thicker or thinner yarns—just adjust your needle size accordingly to maintain the integrity of your design. This pattern requires the ability to knit in the round, along with basic skills in performing simple increases and decreases.

Whether you're an experienced knitter or just starting your crafting journey, this Orange Roughy pattern is a fantastic way to hone your skills while contributing to a meaningful cause. Don’t miss the opportunity to make a beautiful piece that not only enhances your collection but also raises awareness about endangered marine life. Happy knitting!
