It is necessary
- - the remains of any yarn;
- - hook;
- - scissors
Instructions
Step 1
Small fish can be knitted from the remains of multi-colored yarn. Crochet 5 air loops, knit them with single crochet. At the beginning of the next row, add 2 loops, and at the end - another 1. In the third row add 2 loops again at the beginning and 1 at the end. In rows 4 - 7, add 1 loop on both sides.
Step 2
Then make additions as follows:
Rows 8 and 9 - 1 loop at the end;
10 and 11 - 1 loop on both sides;
12 row - 1 loop at the end;
13 row - no additions;
14 - 1 loop at the beginning and at the end of the row;
14 and 15 rows - no additions;
16 row - 1 loop on both sides;
17, 18, 19, 20 - no additions.
Step 3
Then add 1 st on both sides in 21 rows and knit 12 rows unchanged. After that, start decreasing the number of loops in the same way as you added, - "steps". Decrease in 24 rows, 1 loop on both sides, then knit 2 rows without changes, etc. When you reach the fiftieth row, start adding loops to make the tail of the fish. Do the addition in three "steps", 3 rows each. Then in the last two rows, decrease 2 loops on both sides.
Step 4
At the top of the finished body of the fish, from about 15 to 50 rows, make a fin, tying 3-4 rows of single crochets. At the bottom, make 2 small fins: front for 10 loops and back for 16. Tie the fish with a single crochet or half-crochet.
Step 5
Embroider eyes and mouth with a chain stitch on it with threads of a different color. Tie a chain of air loops on the upper fin, close it into a ring. The fish can now be hung in the kitchen, for example, and used as an oven mitt. Or make a beautiful marine-themed mural. You can also tie such items together with your child, and then make your own aquarium.
