SAMMY crochet fish
It was one of the hottest days in summer when I started working on this pattern. Inspired by our barefoot summery beach walks, when tiny flocks of fish swam close to my legs in the salted sea water. Sammy is made with a sport weight Cotton yarn / 4ply fingering wool held together with a Silk Mohair. With a little embroidery detail added the result is a soft hairy fish made to decorate with or to add to your soft animal friends. Because Sammy was born to be among friends.
