Body:

1. Start with the orange yarn by making a magic ring.
2. Crochet 6 single crochets (sc) into the ring.
3. Increase in each stitch around (12 sc).
4. Continue crocheting around in sc, increasing 6 stitches evenly spaced every other round until you have 36 sc.
5. Place a marker at the start of the round.
6. Continue crocheting in SC without increasing until the body measures about 4 inches long.
7. Start stuffing the body as you crochet.
8. Decrease by crocheting two sc together at the end of each round.
9. Continue decreasing until you have only 6 sc remaining.
10. Stuff the body firmly and close the hole by crocheting the remaining stitches together.

Tail:

1. Attach the orange yarn to the back of the body at the base of the tail.
2. Make a chain of 10 sc.
3. Turn and sc in each stitch across.
4. Repeat row 3 until the tail is the desired length.
5. Decrease by crocheting two sc together at the end of each round.
6. Continue decreasing until you have only 2 sc remaining.
7. Close the hole by crocheting the remaining stitches together.

Fins:

1. Make 2 dorsal fins and 2 pectoral fins using white yarn. Each fin can be made by crocheting a chain of 5 sc, turning and sc in each stitch across, then decreasing by crocheting two sc together at the end of each round until you have only 2 sc remaining. Close the hole by crocheting the remaining stitches together.
2. Make 2 pelvic fins using black yarn. Each fin can be made by crocheting a chain of 3 sc, turning and sc in each stitch across, then decreasing by crocheting two sc together at the end of each round until you have only 2 sc remaining. Close the hole by crocheting the remaining stitches together.

Assembly:

1. Sew the dorsal fins to the top of the body, near the head.
2. Sew the pectoral fins to the sides of the body, behind the head.
3. Sew the pelvic fins to the underside of the body, near the tail.

Tips:

• You can use different yarn colors for the body, tail, fins, and eyes.
• Be sure to stuff the fish firmly so that it keeps its shape.
• You can add other details to your fish, such as eyebrows, eyelashes, and a mouth.
