Stitch a Fantasy Fish swimming in a seaweed sea using bright shades of yarn. It's stitched on 10 Holes-per-inch canvas using worsted wool and is a perfect beginner project.

Because this project is worked on canvas with large holes, you can use worsted weight yarn left over from other projects - which also makes this a very economical project.

Finished Size of Project: Approximately 11 x 13 inches
Canvas Size: 15x17 inches, 10 holes-per-inch
Yarn Needed: Dark blue, light blue, purple, dark fuschia, medium pink, white, deep yellow, medium yellow, dark green and light green worsted-weight yarns.

Stitch the project using Continental for the fish and seaweed areas and basketweave stitches.
