This digital crochet pattern creates a betta fish that, with worsted weight yarn and a size F (3.75mm) crochet hook, should be about 8 inches from nose to tail.

If you love betta fish and want a crocheted version, this pattern will take care of the hard work of figuring out how to make one. Aside from making a betta as a child’s toy or to display, this project would make a fun catnip toy, or an adorable baby mobile if you crocheted and hung up a bunch of fish from the ceiling. You can easily make an entire rainbow aquarium of colorful, flamboyant fish.

This is a relatively simple pattern for those who are comfortable crocheting in rows and in the round. Sewing is required to attach all the fins. Please check my shop if you are interested in a smaller size of betta fish.
