The plain fish variation is perfect for beginner-intermediate crocheters looking for something to get comfortable with. It's a nice size and gives plenty of room for creativity. Use whatever colors or yarn you'd like! Experiment with color changes to make splotches, stripes, or patterns. They make for great gifts (baby gifts, birthday gifts, holiday gifts, etc.)

The Koi variation of the fish, is a little more complex with the color changes. The spots are meant to look like a koi fish and other colors can be substituted to make it look like another fish. So this version would be for more intermediate to advanced crocheters, but so long as you're comfortable with color changes, I'm sure you can do it.

Here is a brief history of this pattern. It was actually one of my first patterns and went through a few different shape options. I originally made the first version of this pattern in 2023, almost a year after I first started learning to crochet. I wanted to create my own pattern and found sea creatures to be the easiest to start with. I have made several and sold many of them.

Feel free to sell this product, but please to do not sell, share, or redistribute this pattern.

Thank you and have fun!
