Tapestry Crochet Angler Fish

So here it is, the last part of my Sea Creatures bunting. But never fear, I’ve saved my favourite until last

This lovely red Angler Fish. I’m so pleased with how he turned out, I just love the yellow ‘light’ ready to lure unsuspecting fish into his mouth.

Here is the pattern for this flag

To join the flags together I just started with a chain, and when it was long enough for one end I worked a row of dc into the top of the first flag, I repeated this until all flags were attached.

For the next row I just worked a row of dc along the whole row just to make the top a little thicker.

To end with, here are a few photos of the finished bunting

I really hope you’ve enjoyed making this bunting as much as I have and hope that if you’ve made it you’ll leave me a comment below, just so I know I’m not talking to myself 😆

I’d love to see anything you make from my graphs, you can leave a comment below or tag me on Instagram @Ditzy.and.Dotty

Tapestry Crochet Turtle

Welcome to the penultimate Saturday post of my sea creatures bunting set.

Today it’s the turn of the turtle.

I think he’s really cute and looks lovely swimming along the bunting.

As before there is a tapestry crochet tutorial if you pop over to my patterns page. It’s the starfish in the middle here that you’ll learn to make. There are plenty of photos there too which will hopefully explain the process of making the squares, and as a bonus your first square will already be made by the time you’ve finished the tutorial.

Here is the turtle square for you to download and print

Enjoy the patterns.

Tapestry Crochet Angel Fish

Yet again another Saturday has rolled around. How has your week been? I hope it’s only been filled with nice things, including plenty of crochet.

This week I’ve been doing some more work on my current bug bunting project, there are some photos over on my Instagram page if you want to have a peek. I’m totally addicted to tapestry crochet at the moment, so much so that I’m not really doing many other types of crochet. Although I did sneak a little tiny bit of amigurumi making in with these tiny sea creatures.

But that didn’t last too long before I was back to tapestry crochet!

Anyway this weeks tapestry crochet chart is for this blue Angel fish.

I’m so pleased with how he came out. I wanted to make the blues of his body stand out from the background and I think it’s worked.

Just in case you’ve forgotten what the bunting looks like all together, here’s a photo of the finished project.

Have you made any of the squares yet? I’d love to see photos of them if you have.

Here’s the link to this weeks graph.

I hope you enjoy the squares as much as I do.

Don’t forget to leave a comment below or tag me on Instagram @Ditzy.and.Dotty to show me what you’ve made.

Happy Hooking

Tapestry Crochet Puffer Fish

It’s time for the next square in my sea creatures bunting, this time it’s this green puffer fish.

I’ve made him using Stylecraft Special DK as I like the colours it comes in, and think it’s good value for money, but you can choose whichever yarn you have to hand, it’s not so important for this pattern. The only thing changing yarn will alter is the finished size of the flag, and as long as they’re all the same it doesn’t matter too much.

If you’d like a tutorial for tapestry crochet, I’ve written one on the starfish flag, so just hop over to my free patterns page on here and you’ll be able to find it.

Here’s the graph for downloading

Tapestry crochet Ray

Do you remember this little guy?

He’s the little starfish from my tapestry crochet tutorial.

Well he’s getting some friends, and I’ll be putting the charts up for free each week.

Each block is approximately 5 inches x 6 inches with a 3mm hook or 4.5 inches x 7 inches if you use a 4mm hook.

As the pattern is a graph you can use it for knitting, crochet, c2c crochet, cross stitch, beadwork, patchwork, and anything else you can possibly think of 😃

Without further ado, here is today’s block….

I love this little Ray so much I’ve been playing around with the pattern and have made him a 3D companion.

I’ve used Stylecraft Special DK to make this one, but you could use any yarn and colours that you fancy.

Click below to download the pdf file for the Ray patch, and then you can get started on him.

And this is what I’ve made from all of the patches:
