Marilyn the Fancy Fish
http://kimlapsley.blogspot.ru/2012/03/marilyn-fancy-fish.html
Size
13cm/5in long, 10cm/4in high
Skill Level
Advanced. This pattern uses single crochet and double crochet and is worked in a spiral. Some of the parts are quite small and assembly is a little complicated. Have a read through the pattern before you start. If you run into any trouble, please let me know.
Note on yarn and hook size
I used DK weight yarn and a 3.0mm hook for this pattern. For those using US hooks, I recommend a size C or D, for those using UK hooks, I recommend a size 11. You can use a different weight yarn than DK but it will change the size of your toy. Remember to use the same weight yarn for all parts so that your toy is in proportion. Choose a hook size that will give you a nice tight stitch.

Assembly
***These are guidelines only. Be guided by your own eyes at all times.***
Join the tail fins to the body. Use the yarn tails on the fins to stitch them on.
Join the dorsal fin to the body. The dorsal fin should be aligned with the tail fins, its tip pointing towards the tail. Use the yarn tail on the fin to stitch it on.
Join the side fins to the body. Angle them slightly towards the tail. Pin them on and use the yarn tails on the fins to stitch them on.
Join the eyelids to the eyes. The eyelids sit with the edge sitting along the open edge of the back of the eye. Pin the eyelid onto the eye. Be careful not to jab yourself. Use the tail on the eyelid to join it to the eye. Work your way from the back, sewing down the side of the eyelid.
When you reach the front, don't sew over the edge of the eyelid. You want this section to curve upwards. Instead at the front of the eyelid, join the underside of the eyelid to the eye until you reach the other side and then you can stitch over the edge again until you reach the back.
Don't weave in the eyelid tail. This will be used when joining the eyes to the body.
Join the eyes to the body. Pin them so that they sit close together. Use the purple tail of yarn to join the eyelid section to the body and then use the white tail of yarn to join the eye section to the body.
