PATTERN INFO The goldfish is worked from the top of the head to the tip of the body in continuous rounds as a single piece. It begins with a magic ring and the classic amigurumi sequence of single crochets and increases to form a circle. Decreases are then made on only one side to create the characteristic body shape. The dorsal fin, side fins, and caudal (tail) fin are worked separately and sewn on at the end. Embroidered details are added after finishing. BODY Using Golden Yellow.
