Bright Rainbow Design

The fish begins with a turquoise face before transitioning through colorful stripes of:

• Red
• Orange
• Yellow
• Green
• Blue
• Purple

The body then tapers into a turquoise tail base with two dimensional tail lobes.

Matching fins and round pink cheeks complete the playful look.

Dimensional Amigurumi Construction

Unlike a flat appliqué-style fish, this design is made as a fully stuffed amigurumi plush.

The body is crocheted in continuous rounds from the face toward the tail. The dimensional side fins, top fin, cheeks, and two tail lobes are made separately and sewn into position.

Detailed placement instructions help you keep the fins symmetrical and the tail properly aligned.

Child-Safe Option
