YUM FISH knitting pattern 🐟

Another pattern for our CATS collection! Chris gave me the idea for today’s YUM FISH knitting pattern and I loved it 😃 Next week I’ll also share a similar pattern but with a fishbone outline instead of the whole fish.

THE ENTIRE CAT KNITTING PATTERN (written and charted) IS BELOW.

ABBREVIATIONS

• CO: cast on
• RS: right side
• WS: wrong side
• st: stitch
• k: knit
• p: purl

INSTRUCTIONS

– CO 43 sts with US 7 (4.5 mm) needles.

I always cast on and bind off stitches with larger needles than I use for the main work. This prevent my cast on and bind off rows from being too tight.

– With US 6 (4 mm) needles, knit 4 rows.

Slip first stitch on every row as if you were to knit it, but without knitting it (except on the first row). It will form a neat and sturdy border.

– Continue working as follows:

4 garter sts, YUM FISH knitting pattern over 35 sts, 4 garter sts​ (55 rows).

– Knit 4 rows.

– Bind off with US 7 (4.5 mm) needle. Cut yarn and weave in ends.
