Largemouth Bass Fish Tapestry

This fish pattern is worked flat in single crochet. Following a pattern chart, you will use increases and decreases to create the cutout shape of the tapestry. This pattern is split into 3 charts that you will attach together when starting the 3rd chart. This pattern is for intermediate/advanced crocheters who are comfortable with color change techniques Techniques used in this pattern: - Single crochet - Increase - Decrease - Color changes - 2-color increase Feel free to use any yarn you like! I recommend sizing your hook down half a mm from what your yarn recommends for a slightly tighter tension. I also recommend using the same fiber and weight of yarn for the main colors of your project to get a more uniform look. Your yarn and hook size will determine the size of your finished project My first sample used worsted weight (weight 4) recycled wool yarn with a 4.5mm hook. The finished fish is approximately 3 feet long. My second sample used a sport weight (weight 2) recycled cotton with a 2.75mm hook. The finished fish is approximately 20 inches long. Materials needed: - Yarn: ~100-150 yards light green ~100-150 yards dark green ~100 yards cream/natural ~100 yards yellow ~2 yards black ~2 yards red - Crochet hook .5mm smaller than recommended for your yarn - Scissors - Tapestry needle
