Trout Fishy

This delightful fish pattern was originally crafted using Crystal Palace Yarns Mochi Plus, a yarn that has unfortunately been discontinued. However, fear not—this charming project can be made using a solid, variegated, or self-striping Aran weight wool or wool blend of your choice! Ideal for those looking to add a splash of color or texture to their knitting collection, this pattern is perfect for both gifts and personal keepsakes.

Level: Intermediate Knitters

Size: The finished fish body measures approximately 10.5 inches long (excluding the lips and tail) and 5 inches wide (excluding the fins), making it a delightful addition to any knitted toy collection.

Materials Required:

• 1 - 50g ball of Aran weight wool or wool blend
• 6 or 8-inch double-pointed needles in US size 7
• Dark and light scrap yarn (for eyeballs, if you choose to embroider)
• 2 buttons (if opting for button eyes)
• Yarn needle
• Polyester fiberfill or another appropriate stuffing material

Note: For the safety of younger knitters and children under the age of 3, it is recommended to use embroidered eyes instead of buttons.

This adorable fish body is crafted by working in rounds, while the fins are developed using rows. Some construction is required to complete the fish, ensuring a fulfilling knitting experience as you bring this vibrant creature to life.

Whether you're looking to make a unique gift or simply want to expand your knitting skills, this fish pattern is a must-try for intermediate knitters seeking a fun and engaging project. Dive into your yarn stash and let your creativity swim free as you embark on this aquatic adventure!
