How to Crochet a Fish Finger Puppet – Step-by-Step Tutorial

Looking for a fun and easy crochet project? This Fish Finger Puppet is the perfect amigurumi toy for kids and storytelling! In this step-by-step tutorial, you’ll learn how to crochet a cute fish using simple stitches. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced crocheter, this pattern is easy to follow. Let's get started!

Materials Needed:

Yarn: 4-ply cotton yarn (Orange & Yellow)
Crochet Hook: 3mm
Tapestry Needle for weaving ends
Scissors
Fiberfill for stuffing
Stitch Marker
Fabric Pocket for finger placement

Step-by-Step Crochet Instructions:

1. Crochet the Fish’s Top Fin

Start with orange yarn:

Make a slip knot and chain 8.
Skip 1 chain, then crochet 2 single crochet (SC).
Next, make 1 half double crochet (HDC).
In the next stitch, do a HDC increase (2 HDC in one stitch).
Continue with 1 HDC and 1 SC.
Slip stitch into the last stitch, chain 1, and fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

2. Crochet the Bottom Fin

Follow the same steps as the top fin but start with a chain of 6 instead of 8.

3. Crochet the Fish’s Body

Use yellow yarn:

Start with a magic ring, chain 1, and make 6 SC inside the ring.
Close the ring and mark the first stitch.
Continue increasing in each round to shape the fish’s body:

Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch (12 SC total).
Round 3: (1 SC, 1 increase) repeat around (18 SC total).
Round 4: (2 SC, 1 increase) repeat around (24 SC total).
Rounds 5-10: 1 SC in each stitch (24 SC).

For shaping the fish, start decreasing in rounds 11-14.

4. Crochet the Fish’s Tail

Attach orange yarn to row 14:

Round 15: SC in front loops only (12 SC).
Round 16: 2 DC in each stitch (24 DC).
Round 17: (Chain 3, slip stitch) repeat around to create the fin texture.

5. Assemble the Fish Finger Puppet

Use a tapestry needle to sew the fins onto the body.
Stuff the fish lightly with fiberfill.
Sew a fabric pocket inside the fish to fit your finger.
Embroider eyes and add details if desired.
