Poppy the Pufferfish

Meet Poppy the Pufferfish! Pufferfish may look cuddly and huggable, but they’re actually one of the deadliest fish in the sea! Thankfully, this soft, plush version is very unlikely to harm you. Unless, of course, she kills you with cuteness! Materials You Need: -#6 super bulky yarn. I used Parfait Chunky by Premier Yarns in the colors “White” and “Summer Squash” (for the pink fish, I used the color “Coral”). -I (5.5 mm) crochet hook -15 mm black safety eyes -Fiberfill (or your stuffing of choice) -Bent tip tapestry needle -Scissors -Stitch marker -Straight pins -A small square of any color of felt or fabric Abbreviation Key: Abbreviations are in U.S. terms. sc – single crochet st/sts – stitch(es) sl st – slip stitch dec – decrease (join the next 2 stitches together) inc – increase (2 single crochet in the next stitch) bs – berry stitch BLO – back loops only R1 – round 1 rep – repeat ** – repeat the group of instructions between the asterisks the number of times indicated. Note: All rounds are worked continuously (that is, vs. joined rounds.) The finished size is approximately 5 in. (13 cm) long from mouth to tail. (Please be aware that your personal gauge, tension, hook size, and the brand of yarn you decide to use will all impact the finished size.)
