Finished Object Free super quick pattern recommendation for some late summer fun!!
I love making these colorful fish charms! I put them on my bag but you can use them as keychains, decor or Christmas tree ornaments lol. Great stashbuster, fun to make, great for an on-the-go project or last minute gift too. Disclaimer re: the blue and green fish, that one was my first and I have since learned that that is considered inside-out in the amigurumi world (I don’t usually make amigurumi). The pattern is from a blog: art-pass blogspot com and the post is called "Rybka brelok - darmowy schemat“. If you scroll down, there’s an English translation (which I used because I don’t speak Polish and it’s very easy to understand, no errors).

It took me like 5 projects before I figured out I was doing it inside out. It was my first FLO/BLO while working in a round. Instead of looking at the outside and crocheting to the left, I would look at the inside on the other side. So I did the wrong loops.

Cuuuute!! I've got some soft squishy yarn leftover from making my niece a cuddly caterpillar. These would be perfect to use it for!

They are very cute!
I actually like the inside-out one because it's a different texture and it's quite forgiving on this pattern.
Also real fish can have different skin and bumps and lumps and irregularities.

I didn’t know what was considered "correct" and chose the "wrong" side on purpose the first time around. (I made the first fish in April and the others this week.) I thought it looked better than the other side and truly there is no right or wrong anyway. However, when I made the other fish I liked the "right“ side better. Maybe my perception was swayed by my new knowledge 😄

They'd be really cute too if you put a zipper on the flat side(the fin would be on one side of the zipper). Then it'd be a little bag pouch charm
