Meet Franklin, a friendly fish and member of the Land, Sea, and Air trio.

He can be made in any yarn and hook combination you want. Just be certain that the fabric is firm enough that stuffing does not show through.

My Franklin is made in Vanna’s Choice Solids using 45 yards of the Terracotta colorway.

Franklin is an advanced beginner-level pattern. Skills you will need include single crochet, single crochet into the bottom of a foundation chain, increases, decreases, joining pieces together with crochet, and some seaming.

The pattern has plenty of progress photos to help you along your way to making your flashy fish.
