Easy Little Fish Appliques

I loved making these cute little fish appliques - they are so quick and easy!

Easy Little Fish Appliques

Requirements:

DK yarn (tiny amount)

3.5mm or 4mm hook

This pattern uses UK terminology

ch = chain tr = treble crocket htr = half treble crochet dtr = double treble crochet

Instructions:

Chain 3, join with a slip stitch into a ring

Round 1: ch 2, then work into ring – 4tr, 1dtr, ch1, 1dtr, 5tr, slip stitch to join

Continue with the fish’s tail - ch7, turn and slip stitch into next stitch, ch7, slip stitch into base of same stitch

Fasten off

Darn away ends

Add a little eye detail if desired – a tiny bead, sequin or just a tiny stitch with a dark colour.

Garter Stitch Babbity Jacket with a Collar

Babbity is one of my most popular - and most knitted - designs.

Many knitters make it all in garter stitch - so I thought I would add a version all in garter stitch - and with a fully buttoned front and a little collar.

I have knitted the smallest size - but I wonder if any of you would like to test knit the other sizes ?

I have added the instructions below - and if you do - please let me know if you find any errors, if the size measures correctly and how much yarn you used.
