Hello, friends! I liked this funny little fish from the cartoon “Finding Nemo” so much that I took the risk of knitting it myself, guided only by stills from the cartoon). Therefore, I will try to make a description, but perhaps everything will not be clear everywhere - do not judge strictly!

For the work I needed blue, black and yellow “Bambino” yarn (50g-150m), hook No. 3, plastic eyes (larger), glue, a needle with a thick eye and holofiber.

Description of the fish:

I started knitting the body of the fish from the nose with blue threads.
1st: amigurumi ring, 6 st.b.n.
2p.: double each loop (it turns out 12 stitches)
3rd grade: senior biological sciences, etc., etc. (18th grade)
4 rubles: 2 st.b.n., etc. (24 st.)
5th grade: 3 st.b.n., pr. (30 st.)
6th grade: 4 st.b.n., pr. (36 st.)
7th grade: 5 st.b.n., pr. (42 st.)
8 rub.: 6 st.b.n., pr. (48 st.)
9p.: no increase (48 st.)

Starting from 10r. we tie up black threads and knit 2 double stitches with them, then continue to the end of the row with blue ones.
From 9th row to 12th row. - no increase in loops!!! Just gradually increase the number of black columns on each side so that it is symmetrical. At the end of 12 p.m. - also 48 st! Don’t forget to gradually fill the body with filler, because... then because of the constrictions inside it will be uncomfortable! Don't stuff it too tightly!
13 rubles: 6 st.b.n., decrease, etc., but we continue to increase the number of black columns! There are gradually more of them than blue ones. (42 stitches in total) It is important that due to the change of threads, you get constrictions inside, which are exactly what you need so that the fish’s body is evenly flattened along the entire back!

Rows 14-16: no decreases
17 rub.: 5 senior b.n., ub. (36 st.)
18-19 r.: no decreases
20 rubles: 4 st.b.n., ub., and black st. do 5 more on each side! (now there are only 10 blue ones out of 30)
21-22 rubles: no decreases
23r.: 3 st.b.n. ub.(24 tbsp.)
RUB 24-25: no reductions
26 rubles: 2 st.b.n., ub (18 st., of which 4 are blue)
27 rubles: without dec., but blue st. only 2. Stuffing with holofiber again!

At 28r. we tie yellow threads approximately in the middle of the body and knit 2 st.b.n. in two places. (we cut the blue threads and fasten the tip)
29 rubles: we make a decrease in two places (top and bottom of the tail), while there are already 4 or 5 yellow tables on each side. (total 16 tbsp.).
Next we knit the extension of the tail: this time only with yellow threads, in each row adding 1 st.b.n. at the top of the tail and below. So we knit 12 rows! Then we use black threads (we didn’t cut them!) to knit a pigtail along the upper edge of the tail to the edge and back, and then move to the lower edge of the tail, and also go in a chain to the edge and back, cut the black thread and hide the tip inside. We lightly stuff the tail and close it with yellow thread, folding it in half.
Then, we knit the upper fin with blue threads: starting from the place where we began to knit black threads on the body, we knit a chain of st.b.n. along the back to the tail. Then we turn back, and on these st.b.n. knit 10 st. 1n. and 3 st.b.n., cut the thread, hide the tip inside.

We start the side fins with blue threads from an amigurumi ring, 6 st.b.n.
2p.: double each loop (12 stitches)
3-6 rubles: no increases. (12 tbsp.)
7p.: tie black threads, on the 6th and 12th loop - increase (14 stitches)
8p.: on the 7th and 14th loop - increase (16 stitches)
9p.: tie yellow. threads, on 8 and 16 loops - increase (18 stitches)
10p.: on 9 and 18 loops - increase (20 stitches)
Rows 11, 12 and 13 - increase only on the 10th loop.
14p.: knit up to 11 loops (half), fold in half and knit both halves together behind internal sides loops There is no need to fill the fins!

Before sewing on the fins, you need to knit a braid from the vp with black threads. on the sides of the body. Then we sew on the fins.

Then we tie blue threads in the place where the eyebrows will be and knit a chain of 6-7 st.b.n. right on the head, turn it, and knit another 6-7 double stitches in the opposite direction (we get a convex eyebrow, without cutting the thread we knit the second eyebrow). Then we glue the eyes under the eyebrows. After that, I embroidered a rather wide mouth with black thread (having outlined it in advance), and then, with blue thread, I knitted the contours of the mouth, pulling together the “dimples” of the cheeks and the corners of the smile.

Well, it seems that's all! If yours is not the same as mine, it may turn out much better! Experiment! Good luck to all!!!

Abbreviations:
v.p. - air loop.
senior biological sciences - single crochet.
Art. 1n. - single crochet
etc. - increase (in the same loop we knit 2 single crochets)
ub. - decrease (we knit 2 loops at the same time on the outer wall of each)

Impressed by the cartoon “Finding Dory,” Lupita Suarez, author of the blog LoopyYarn, knitted a little Dory for herself and shared the pattern knitted toys amigurumi.

The Blue Tang fish is very whimsical and has a hard time taking root in an aquarium. Therefore, it is better to crochet such a little friend for your child; he is soft and can travel outside the water.
