Boxfish Handicraft Crochet Pattern for Fluso the Batfish
(PDF File / 10 Pages)

QUITE CHEEKY
Batfish are unusual in terms of shape. They have a very flat body. Very characteristic are the dark colored vertical bands over eyes and pectoral fins. Don’t you think they look majestic?
Would you have thought so, batfish are particularly curious and bold in nature. They like to swim after divers and accompany you for a bit, snapping at the rising bubbles and nibbling on your fingers or equipment.
Fortunately, thanks to cotton yarn our Fluso the batfish is not quite so cheeky and we can tame him the way we want him.
