INFO AND TIPS
The goldfish is crocheted from the top of the head to the tip of the body, worked in continuous
rounds in one piece. It starts with a magic ring and the classic amigurumi sequence of single
crochet stitches and increases to create a circle. Then decreases are made on only one side of
the head to create that unique body shape.
Safety eyes are placed and secured while working the body. If you prefer to embroider the eyes
you can do that at the end. Embroidery is added at the end of the work.
When you see a number in {curly brackets} it means there is an image on the last pages that you
can use as reference to check if everything is going ok!
