What perfect timing - I was looking for a gift for a little boy named Finn, and then got this in my inbox! Thank you so much, he's going to love his new fishy! 🥰 I can't wait to be able to afford to support you with pattern purchases, but until then please accept my sincere thanks!
I'm so glad the timing worked out! No worries at all about not buying the PDF pattern -- I make videos and free versions so that everyone (regardless of budget) can make it too! You liking my patterns is a big support already!! Thank you!
I was sketchy about the no sew to start with. Boy was I pleasantly surprised. Thank you for this. You are awesome.
So glad you like it!! I love designing no-sew projects ;)
@@SweetSofties I guess I need to pay better attention to you. I did not know you had more. You rock, never stop. God bless.
I've been coming out with more no-sew designs as of late! For an easy view of them all, you can go to: payhip.com/SweetSofties/collection/amigurumi-no-sew. Many of them are free patterns; you just need to click into the pattern you're interested in, and look at the top of the description box for the free pattern link (if there is one). Let me know if you have any problems!
@@SweetSofties Awesomesace! Thank you!
Your crochet had the most realistic tail & looked so pretty. I was able to understand the tail but not the fins 😂 thouugh it should be much easier. It took me around 6hrs to make and mom wants this made into a keychain
put catnip in with the stuffing, and now it's a perfect lil fish toy for my cat :) thanks for the tutorial
Not that actually being so smart tho🤣
The tail was torture to understand at first but once I get the general pattern, I decided to go free style and make the tail however the hell I want 😂
The result is not even or orderly like yours but I think I like it better. Thank you for this pattern 😊
Can you post pic?
Ahh omg thank you so much for this!! I’ve never crocheted before and I was looking for a beginner friendly tutorial to make a fish for my mom as a gift… even though I restarted like 3-4 times (since I’m completely new 🤣) I got it done and it’s so cute!! My mom loves it!! Thank you so much 🥺💜
So glad you like it! What a sweet gift for Mom!!
Thank you! I crochet for charity, and I like this fish a lot better than the other one I was doing. The tail is gorgeous!
So glad you like it! Thank you so much!
I luv this pattern and tutorial! You are a great teacher and very easy and relaxing to follow along with.
I, too, avoid patterns with any sewing. Thank-you so much! 😍💫💫💫
Thank you so much! That's so wonderful to hear!
I’ve been looking for a cute fish and this is the best one I found! Just finished adding the fins and I used a color variegated yarn and it looks like a little koi! It was really easy to follow along with you. You explained and showed the fins better than any other videos I found. I am sooo proud of this little fishie! ❤
Aww, that's amazing to hear! Thanks for the awesome feedback! So glad you enjoyed following along and I'm sure the variegated yarn looked beautiful in your fish! I love organic, natural, color changes!
Made this as my second project crocheting, had to say this is a very well made tutorial! demonstrations are clear and explanations easily understood. Thanks for this!
Thank you for the amazing feedback! Glad you enjoyed the tutorial!
Thank you for sharing your talent with us, you are such a good teacher, you explain everything very clearly, soooooo helpful. I made your turtle by following along with your tutorials and today I made this goldfish. Looking forward to doing more of your patterns and enjoying your content. Thank you sooo much😊
I'm so happy you like my tutorials! Thanks for such a sweet compliment!!
Thank you for such a great tutorial! I never thought I'd be able to crochet something as complicated as this but with your detailed instructions I did!!!
And I'm really pleased with the result!
So awesome to hear!! Great job to you for working through it!
These are so adorable! The tail technique is brilliant and useful, I recently made a chicken freehand and used your tail technique to make the wings. It worked perfectly!
Awesome to hear!! That's creative of you!
This helped a lot! I only had one ball of yarn and I finally found the perfect tutorial. Thank you!
YAY! Awesome to hear that!! :)
Great tutorial! Love how you demonstrated creating a mosaic goldfish amigurumi without any sewing. Fantastic work!
The tutorial was so helpful! I loved how it turned out! Thank you so much for the tutorial
I'm so glad! Yay!
FYI, Did you know that the CZcams channel "Craft Addict" copied your goldfish pattern and made a CZcams video? She says in her comments that if you ask her to remove the video she will remove it, I hope this helps you
I did not know that! Thank you for letting me know. I have just contacted her in the comments; hopefully she will respect my request and the copyright terms :) Thank you so much...this really helps!
She did pretty much do what she was supposed to, right? She accreditted you, fully, saying its yours. That person was trying to start drama. I guess that's what happens when your only human interaction is in your bedroom online
I was thinking the same thing... its sad.@@mycustompaintedlife502
@@mycustompaintedlife502if someone copied the creators work that is not okay,(even with credit) without permission, as that is losing people who would watch this video, thus loosing money from their work. Hope this helps!
Adorable! Your instructions are so clear to follow. Thank you!
Thanks so much!!
I really enjoyed making this little fish! I love the pretty tail and the extra details of the fin and flippers really makes it whole. Wonderful. Thank you!
So awesome to hear!! Thank you!
Clear guidance .Thank you very much ❤️ for your tutorial
Glad to hear it!! :)
I’ve made 2 of these so far, and they are so adorable! I love this pattern, thanks for sharing!!
You are so welcome! Happy to hear!
Thank you SOOO much for this tutorial! I am struggling trying to find crochet patterns that are actually easy for me and when I found this tutorial, my life got so much easier! Thank you for the pattern! I will make one! | Edit: I made one and it looks so cute thank you! I made one in about 1-2 hours and it was so worth it at the end, the pattern was super easy and fun to make.
Glad it was helpful! So happy to hear this amazing feedback!
It’s a great pattern but an issue was that the video says it’s a no sew pattern but at the end you have to sew in the other fins😢
@@Elswyth-dk6ot I’m a little confused - the fins are crocheted directly to the body. There is no sewing needed.
Love your tutorial!! This is an awesome project and I can’t thank you enough!!!!
So happy to hear it! Yay!!
this is an amazing pattern! the video is super easy to follow and you did a great job explaining everything. my fish turned out perfect! thank you so much
So happy to hear it! Thank you!

Awesome!! One of my testers gave her fish to her kitty and said it was well-loved! I'm sure it'll be a great cat toy!
I loved this tutorial thank you for sharing your pattern and instructions. It was so easy to follow and your way of describing everything is so calm 😊 I now have a seriously cute Goldfish with a very 'organic' tail 😂

Very cute and great instructions, thanks.
Very glad you like it!!
This tutorial is so clear and easy to follow and the fish are so cute thank u so much ! I've already made 3 of them
So awesome to hear!!!
I am a novice scarf crocheter in triple stitch only. No fancy stuff. I have never so frustratingly enjoyed a craft as much a making this dish. I am in first tail after unlocking fish about 4 times. Normally after 1 unlock that is it it gets tossed but no this fish I may have a winky one but finish it I will. Thank you
So glad you like it!!
Magnifique 👍❤️❤️
Thank you so much! These are so beautiful!
Thank you!!
Thank you. It turned out beautiful. ❤ 🐟
Glad to hear!!
Thank you so much 🎉❤❤
Adorable ❤
Round 11
Using this to keep track where i am so when i come back to the tut i can see ❤
Great way to keep track!! ;)
This looks darling think my kitties might like this as a toy too
Thank you Kay! I think so too; one of my testers gave her fish to her kitty and said it was well-loved haha!
@@SweetSofties 🤗🤗🤗🐈
This is so adorable!! I can’t wait to make them!
I had fun shopping in your merch store! Thank you for making the prices reasonable, as shipping was kind of high, but I wanted to show my support for you and your amazing talent! I’m curious if you’re able to see what I ordered - I had fun and treated myself! 😂 I’m so excited to get everything! I made a mug wall on a blank spot in our kitchen so I was excited to get a mug to display on it. It was a hard choice to decide which pattern to choose as you have so many wonderful options!
Anyway, I’m thinking about adding a keychain to the top of the fish pattern - what do you think?
Thank you for sharing! 💜🧶
Awww, thank you Sharon!! You are too sweet for supporting me as always, and in so many ways!! I really appreciate it!
@@SweetSofties I can’t wait to get my goodies! I’ll send you a picture of the mug on the mug wall when I get it! 😁
greatest pattern video ever! thxx
Wow, that's awesome to hear! So glad you like it!
Thank you! It’s an easy project
Yay, happy to hear it!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. You are a great teacher and I now understand perfectly how to make this amazing little fish! ❤
That's so awesome to hear!!
I LOVE YOUR VOICE!!
Awww thank you!!
Thank you I love no sew
Adorable!
This is very good. I have done a lot of these before and this was by far a favorite. I wondered if you have any patterns that would yield a smaller fish but the same shape?
So glad you enjoyed my tutorial!! 🥰 I have a smaller fish called the “candy fish” (also a free tutorial on my CZcams channel) but it’s shaped differently. Might be worth taking a look to see if you like it though!
J'ADORE...MAGNIFIQUE...
Thank you!!
You are awesome !!!!! I love it so much ❤😊

Thank you I loved this ❤️

Hermoso trabajo, de los mejores trabajos amigurumi de 😮youtube. Felicidades TE SIGO 🥰
Muchísimas gracias querida!!
This was a great project :) do you think plush yarn would work 🤔
You can try it with plush yarn! It'll make a very big and soft fish!
I love these little fishies! I’ve made 3 of them for my daughter’s friends! They are super cute 🥰 thank you for this tutorial
Glad to hear!! Thank you!
thank you thank you! this is amazing. i have 2 colors. do you have advice on how to change the colors?
Thanks! I have a color changing tutorial here: czcams.com/video/z7H3wfrxvuE/video.html
Would you be able to design a chenille yarn plushie fish please at some point? 🐠🐟🥺 A cute small one but with fluffy yarn 🙏🙏
That's a good idea! I can add it to my list of projects to make!
Yaayy😊💃
u are so good
Very inspiring crochet tutorial. How to change colors mam.
Thank you! You can change colors during the fish's midsection area!
This is beautiful. Don’t think I can make one myself. Tu
Thanks but I think you can give it a try if you like it!!
You yarn under, right? Is that what makes the stitches look so neat and professional? I’m going to do it for my next one and see
After watching a video, I think I actually yarn over! I can try yarning under but it feels unnatural to me. I just make sure my tension is not too loose to make the tighter/neater stitches!
I like how the name of the playlist has a beatles lyric
Oh really? I had no idea!
Gorgeous pattern! Thank you so much for sharing. But i am really struggling with the slip stitch at around 21:27 to connect the two sides, any advice? 🫠
It looks amazing! Can I make it with chunky yarn?
You sure may! Your fish will turn out bigger than mine! :)

Thank you so much, I appreciate the support! Here's the link to get the pattern, and it includes different variations for the scales! :) payhip.com/b/fxRL9
just in time for the ghost and pals fishing song
Ooh do you have a link? Sounds cool!

Hi, I have never done color work. Would the pdf be good for me to start with it? I'm not an absolute beginner, I ve crocheted a few toys and etc but haven't done that type of colouring, would I still be able to follow the other fish patterns in the pdf?❤
The "color work" is really just switching colors, and my PDF pattern gives instructions on where/which round to switch! I think it's been really helpful for beginner crocheters, from what my testers and customers have said. ^_^ HOpe this helps!
Thanks for the reply ❤
I bought the pdf but I think it would have been very helpful if you wrote at end of row #0f chains we should wind up with.. row 1. I chained 15, skipped 1 chain and went down the back. So have 13 sc. is that correct.
Sorry about that, thanks for the feedback! If you ch 15, sk a ch, and sc in the 2nd ch from the hook, you should end up with 14 sc total in that round (counting the first sc you made).
Could you do one of these fruit themed farmers market bags thats been going viral on tiktok? If you happen to know how to make one
I haven’t seen these around! I’m also not very active on TikTok haha… sounds like a great idea tho!!
Wouldn’t it be easier to do the fins before you stuff it? I’m going to experiment with different fin styles I think 😁
You can do that if you want! :) It can be easier in terms of not accidentally pulling out stuffing with your hook.
@@SweetSofties I ended up adding crochet eyes also! I’ll tag you on Instagram when I post it! ❤️
Can you tell me where you got that yarn?
From DGY here: glnk.io/47/jade
I noticed you put the caps on the safety eyes inverted. ???
I used to put them on inverted because the other way may cause an indent in the eyes and cause the yarn to cave in, making the eyes look "grumpy".
Are 50g of yarn enough for a fish??
I think that would be enough, but not too sure!
How do you make this pattern bigger without sizing up in yarnsize?
You could double it, so start with a magic ring with 12 SC and double all the other instructions! It mate work haha! People may have other ideas though!
Where can i buy a yarn like that and what you call of that kind of yarn.sorry im new in crocheting.thanks
No worries! This yarn is from here: glnk.io/47/jade I think the name of it is Sparkle Worsted Weight!
@@SweetSofties thanks♥️❤️
🤗😍🥰💗💗🎉
Would you mind if I made these to sell?
You can, as long as you credit me as the designer with my name and site, such as: "Pattern design by Sweet Softies, www.sweetsofties.com"
I'm pretty sure too that her audience isn't toured so she's not stealing from your clientele. Have you checked out her page? These people would never see your pattern if not for her. Maybe ask her to say something specific that markets you and your channel. I guess that's what they say about mindset. We could look at our completion as those with whom we have to fight but the truth is, no 2 businesses, no 2 websites, no 32 social media accounts are going to have the same exact target audience. By sharing a product that is yours to her audience you have gained new leads and prospects that were unrelated to the specificity of your nichr
Sorry I'm a little confused! Who are you referring to?
22
It would be nice of you to give credit to the designer when you use other people's patterns.
I’m not sure what you mean by that. This is my own design! ☺️
