Knit this little fishy as a cat toy, or make a shoal of fish to hang from a crib mobile. The fish’s eyes are knitted bobbles with buttons for pupils. If you are making a fish for your pet, please don’t use buttons as they could be dangerous if swallowed, it is safer to embroider the pupils in yarn instead. Designed by Amanda Berry @fluffandfuzz, the fish is knitted in acrylic DK yarns on single pointed needles (not in the round).
