Pacific reef fish (and bonus corals)

Of the world’s oceans, the Pacific Ocean is the largest and deepest, home to an incredible variety of vibrant fish and stunning corals. In this unique knitting pattern, you'll have the opportunity to create adorable representations of the juvenileyellow boxfish*, the lavish and lustrous* purple anthias*,* Moorish idol*,* Picassofish, and - to keep your creative spirits alive in these strange times - I’ve also included charming patterns for thecarnation tree coralandpink flowerpot coral*.*

These delightful fish and corals are designed as easy to medium-level projects, perfect for knitters looking to hone their skills. You will engage in both flat and circular knitting, as well as intarsia color work, making these projects a fun and enriching experience. The detailed instructions for the textured stitch pattern of the flowerpot coral ensure that every aspect of your creation is clearly explained for successful knitting.

To create these vibrant reef creatures, you'll use 2.25 mm double-pointed needles (UK 13, US 1) and only small amounts of yarn (18 - 20 m per project), making it easier than ever to use up what scraps you have lying around. Each project is a fantastic way to reduce leftover yarn while crafting a whimsical nod to marine life. When assembled, these projects can create a stunning mock aquarium display or a colorful crib mobile, adding a splash of ocean-inspired charm to any space.

So, dive into your knit stash and bring some blazing bliss to your crafting endeavors! Enjoy these cute, small projects that not only brighten your knitting journey but also celebrate the colorful wonders of the ocean. Stay strong and keep knitting, Viv!
