Frequently asked questions
Is this good for beginners?
Yes — it is worked flat around a simple foundation chain with basic increases and decreases, so it is a fast, low-stress first amigurumi.
How do I get the fish shape?
Working around both sides of a starting chain gives the long flat body; a color change forms the blue back over the white belly.
