Free crochet patterns: Fish Family

Free crochet patterns: Fish Family

Hi! Here I am, looking for summer to come and with no very nice weather here in my town. And sometimes you know that bad weather means a lot of time to crochet nice things... ;-). So, let me introduce you my "Fish Family". I started crocheting one of these little fishes but couldn't avoid crocheting a lot of them!. They're really addictive, you know... As you will see, some of them are bigger than the others just because I crocheted them with a thicker yarn, but the pattern is the same. Would you like to know it? You will find it at the end of this post!
