Step 10Variations on a fishy theme!
There are many easy variations you can knit to achieve slightly different fish.
For the blue angel fish in the photo, start with 16 stitches on your needle and decrease as per the instructions to six stitches, knit two rows stockinette stitch and then cast on six stitches at the beginning of the next two rows. Then you can decrease down to two stitches as before. I added a simple fringe to his tail and added a couple of stripes as I knitted..
If stockinette stitch bores you, try knitting the tail in knit one purl one rib and then moss stitch, garter stitch, seed stitch - for the body. The variations are endless. Create your own aquarium - let the real fish swim free...........
Happy fishing!
