This lovely, lacy little goldfish has so many possibilities! It would be perfect for applique on a beach bag, or on a bag for those Go Fish cards, aquatic themed baby blanket, garments, and so much more.
It can be stiffened, or blocked for shaping (or sewn as is, if directly using as applique), as desired.
Any size of crochet thread can be used, with a well matched hook size. The written pattern also includes a hand-drawn chart to supplement the instructions, using the standard crochet symbols. You only need 10-15 yards of thread--and less than 1 hour-- to crochet this little cutie. Lace-work and shaping make this pattern an Intermediate rating.
