I just stumbled across the cutest little Amigurumi creatures that are perfect for the next Crochet Cruise that is headed to the Caribbean in October 2017.

Or, use red yarn to make a more traditional lobster instead. A perfect little mascot for your next summer cookout. Crochet hook(for amigurumi, you’ll likely need a hook a couple of sizes smaller than you’d normally use) Steve is an amigurumi fish that measures 18 cm long and has stripes and small fins. This pattern includes two versions of Steve the fish, one for amigurumi and one for storing small trinkets.
