I decided to try an angler fish. I used the same basic mitten shape. For the angler arm, I did a 4 stitch I-cord, then increased for the lure. I reinforced the I-cord with chenille and put a bit of stuffing in the lure.

For the fins, I case on 23, p2, knit 5, across row, ending with a p2. Knit and purl stitches as they appear for 3 more rows. Then on row 5, p2, k2tog, k1, k2 together across row, ending k2. Row 6, knit and purl stitches as they appear. Row 7, p2, k3 tog across row, ending p2. Row 8, knit an purl stitches as the appear. Cast off.

For the eyes, I cast on 6 stitches, purled 1 row. Next row I, k1, make 1, knit to one stitch before end of row, make 1, knit one. Work 3 rows in stockinette. On next row, k1, SSK, knit to 2 stitches before the end, k2 tog, k1. Cast off on the purl side. I stitched the inner eye. Then I used one of the ends to catch an edge stitch all around, stuffing the ends of the yarns inside and cinched tight.
