if you follow the chart to flickr - you can view the chart of the fish - i’ve ‘improved’ the pattern a little to suit my own taste, straightening the tail a little with a double decrease … the little dip the fin did always made me think my fish were sad.

I’ve got a mattress stitch invisible seaming tutorial for these fish on my blog,

91 fish sewn and 47 fish to sewn in some time, march 2009

and yes I’m still knitting fish - a few a week, then some weeks none, The blanket it is big enough for a baby’s car seat, but my family all wanted a larger blanket and it was a lot of work to give away, and then I thought I’d edge it with an i-cord when it was finally done - so its not finished yet.
