I know I say it often, and here I go again: I really LOVE this cute and colorful baby blanket. I think the little fish are adorable, and I had so much fun designing them!

With this pattern, I have managed to incorporate the fish right “into” the background (versus sewing it on top of the background, which is what we often see in crochet).

I was inspired to create this blanket by the cutest pair of little girl rubber boots that I spotted in the park. They had tiny fish on them in similar colors.

Thank you for checking out my fishy little baby blanket!

This blanket measures approximately 26” wide and 28” long.

It would obviously make a lovely gift for any lucky baby, but because it is made up of one simple, repeated fish rectangle, it would be very easy to make a larger one for a young boy or girl. If you are lucky enough to have access to ocean side property, it would fit in beautifully there as a throw. And, of course, I think it would make a really special photo prop.

This crochet blanket pattern is suitable for an intermediate crocheter. It uses standard US English crochet terminology. It has been tested for clarity and accuracy by a professional crochet designer. In addition, it contains step-by-step how-to photos. I am confident this pattern will make for a happy crochet experience (and a very nice fish blanket).

I am available to answer questions, should you have any.

Thanks again for stopping by.
