Knit up your own fierce anglerfish amigurumi with this original hansigurumi design! Belonging to the order Lophiiformes, these bizarre dwellers of the deep sea are named after the glowing lure they use to entice unsuspecting prey into their jaws. Make this fangy fish for yourself, or gift it to a friend. Either way, this unusual project is sure to provide lots of knitting fun!

This pattern contains detailed instructions for knitting your cantankerous little friend, complete with easy-to-read text, informative technical notes, and full-color photographic illustrations. Additional technical and troubleshooting assistance is available through e-mail consultation.

Required techniques for this project include picking up stitches, standard increases (M1R and M1L), Kitchener stitch grafting, short row shaping, and small diameter circular knitting. This pattern is recommended for the intermediate- or advanced-level knitter.
