Let's embark on this crochet adventure, where the magic of yarn transforms into a vibrant, no-sew goldfish.

Materials Needed:

• Sport weight yarn (5 ply)
• 3 mm crochet hook

Note: Using thinner yarn and a smaller hook will result in a smaller goldfish.

Pattern:

Round 1:

Start with a magic ring.

1. Chain 2 (counts as your first half double crochet).
2. Make 4 more half double crochets into the magic ring (5 half double crochets total).
3. Pull the tail to close the ring.
4. Slip stitch into the top of the initial chain 2 to join.

Round 2:

1. Chain 2.
2. Make two half double crochets in each stitch around (total of 10 half double crochets).
3. Skip any extra stitch at the end.
4. Slip stitch into the top of the beginning chain 2 to join.

For Round 3:

1. Chain 2.
2. Make 1 half double crochet in the next stitch, then 2 half double crochets in the following stitch repeat around (15 stitches total).
3. Change colors as desired for different patterns on the fish.

Round 4 & 5:

1. Chain 2.
2. Make 1 half double crochet in each stitch around.
3. For bi-color fish, change yarn colors as needed to match the design.

For Round 6:

1. Chain 2.
2. Make 1 half double crochet in the next stitch, then make a half double crochet decrease (combining the next two stitches into one) repeat around (10 stitches total).
3. Fill the fish with stuffing before closing.

Round 7 (Closing Round):

1. Chain 1.
2. Make single crochet decreases all the way around (5 stitches total).
3. Finish off and weave in the ends securely.

Tail:

1. Chain 3.
2. Make a triple crochet in the same stitch.
3. Chain 2, then make a single crochet in the second chain from the hook.
4. Slip stitch into the base of the triple crochet.
5. Repeat the steps for a second triple crochet in the same stitch. This creates one side of the tail. Repeat these steps for the other side of the tail.

Fins (x2):

1. Attach yarn at the desired location.
2. Chain 2, then make 2 half double crochets in the same space.
3. Finish with a slip stitch, cut the yarn, and weave in the ends.

Eyes (optional):

• You can add eyes using beads, felt, or embroider them directly onto the fish.
