The mini fish measures 5 1/2" long (14 cm) and uses approximately 50 yards (46 meters) of fingering-weight yarn (sample shown in Knitpicks Gloss Fingering). Recommended needle size for the mini fish is US 1 (2.25 mm). > Share your projects on Instagram with #GanseyFlatfish or @wee_ewe_knits, I love to see your pics ♥️
