♡ MY COLORWORK INSTRUCTIONS ♡
this project must be done in HDC & 1 graph square = 1 HDC
must start on an odd row
even numbered rows will be the wrong side if you are right handed
odd numbered rows will be the wrong side if you are left handed
read the graph from right to left on odd rows, and left to right on even rows
if you make the graphic into a plain tapestry, I would suggest a starting chain of 6 more than the graph to leave 3 on each side, plus one turning chain each row; I would suggest starting graph on row 3 and working two blank rows after the graph is completed
the iconic three eyed fish from the simpsons tv show; it is a mutation due to living in waters near the toxic spillages of the nuclear power plant
graph is 25 rows by 52 stitches
requires 50g black, 100g orange, 5g white (eyes), (& 150g background color if doing a tapestry as listed above) in medium worsted weight yarn (4)
with 5mm hook & the following gauge: 5 rows of 6 hdc = 2x2” you should have a finished graphic 10 inches tall and 18 inches wide
