Lucky Fish

MATERIALS - 1 skein of Purl Soho’s [Pepper][1], 100% superwash merino wool. Each skein of this sport- to light worsted/DK-weight yarn is 218 yards/ 100 grams; approximately 145 total yards required. We used the colors Black Cherry, Candy Apple, Eastern Bluebird, Ferris Wheel, and Pink Apricot. - US 4 (3.5 mm), 32-inch [circular knitting needles][2] for [Magic Loop][3] (see Notes) - US 6 (4 mm), 32-inch circular needles for Magic Loop - A spare [double pointed needle][4], US 6 or smaller - [Removable stitch markers][5], including 3 unique - [Poly-fil stuffing][6] GAUGE 40 stitches and 32 rows = 4 inches in 1×1 rib, on smaller needles 32 stitches and 60 rounds = 4 inches in Textured Slip Stitch Pattern (see Notes), on larger needles SIZE - Finished Body Circumference: Approximately 7¾ inches-8½ inches, stuffed - Finished Length: 14 inches MAGIC LOOP Because this pattern works a stitch pattern over a small circumference and requires picking up stitches along a curved edge, we found it easiest to use 32-inch circular knitting needles and the Magic Loop technique. However, feel free to use double pointed needles for the whole thing, if you prefer! To learn how to use a Magic Loop, visit our [Magic Loop Tutorial][7]… A simple way to knit small circumferences!
