Simple Fish




Fish
I used an E hook and thinner thread.
Rnd 1: 5 in a circle
Rnd 2: sc twice in each st around (10)
Rnd 3: *sc in first stitch then sc twice in next st* repeat around (15)
Rnd 4: *sc 2 then sc twice in next st* repeat around (20)
Rnd 5-7: sc around (20)
Rnd 8: *decrease first st, sc 9* then repeat (18)
Rnd 9: sc 3 then decrease then sc 8 then decrease then sc 3 (16)
Rnd 10: *decrease then sc 7 st* then repeat (14)
Rnd 11: sc 3 then decrease sc 4 decrease sc 3 (12)
Rnd 12: *decrease then sc 4* then repeat (10)
Put in eyes and stuff.
Rnd 13: decrease around (5)
Rnd 14: two sc in each st around (10)
Rnd 15: two sc in each st around (20)
Rnd 16-17: sc around (20)
sl st and leave a tail. Sew middle of tail together and sew up hole.

Pebbles
I used a funky yarn and did two circles to fit the bottom of my bowl.

Plant
Ch 30
Row 2: 2 sc in each st
Row 3: sc back along ch on the opposite side.
Weave wire through and sew to the pebbles. Hide ends of wire between layers of pebbles and string ends as well. Stitch the two pebble halves together. Use a toothpick to prop up the fish.

    I'm a learn-by-demonstration kind of girl. Crochet is taking me far longer than I'd like, to learn, what with being south-pawed. Anyone happen to have a directional video, or know of one, for that matter, for something like this?

      I'm left handed too and i agree it can make it tricky to learn from right handers. I dont know of a video but i know of a book which shows both ways its called "I can't believe I'm crocheting" it says right on the cover *lefties too* its what I learned from.

    Jo, For all amigurumi like this you will want to start with the magic circle. Here is a good video for that: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WLuSVyKvoUg
    After the circle you will just crochet in a spiral around and around using a stitch marker to mark the end of each round as you go.

    hi thank you so much for this cute idea! I will be making one for my desk! What size eyes did you use?

    ReplyDelete
  9. Rachel HansenApril 20, 2011 at 7:23 PM

    They are the small 4.5 mm size. The 6 mm would work though.

    he hecho pañitos de crochet y flores pero nunca esto...he aprendido solo y quisiera hacer algo de esto amigurumi y creo q este seria ideal por lo pequeño....no conozco el punto....me podrian decir que en crochet es el mismo punto q se le llama punto bajo o punto sencillo algo así...

    I did crochet doilies and flowers but never have learned this ... and I would only do some of this amigurumi and I think this would be ideal q so small .... I know the point .... I could say that in crochet is the same point q is called single point low or something ...

    I love this pattern! But I'm caught in round 4. Where it says 'sc 2 then sc twice in next st', does this mean each stitch gets 2sc? If I do that, I'm going to have 30 stitches. Everyone else seems to get it...but I'm new to amigurumi so...please help! Thank you very much.

    Can you clarify for me?

    Hello!
    Thank you for the pattern, it is fantastic!

    Wanted to ask you something. Is it possible that there are 2 tiny mistakes in the stitches count?
    I think the first one is here:
    Rnd 8: *decrease first st, sc 9* then repeat (18)
    The correct should be
    Rnd 8: *decrease first st, sc 8* then repeat (18)

    The second is
    Rnd 10: *decrease then sc 7 st* then repeat (14)
    The correct should be
    Rnd 10: *decrease then sc 6 st* then repeat (14)

    It is really minor, but it might be confusing if somebody counts the stiches very strictly.

    Thank you agan!
