Fishy Cat Toy - Quick and Easy Free Crochet Pattern

Fill this cute fishy cat toy with cat nip or just use a little stuffing. Quick and easy to make, it's a great way to use up any extra scrap yarn. Plus, cat toys are great beginner projects because I'm pretty sure your cat won't mind if it doesn't turn out perfect!
The fish toy pictured was worked with Red Heart Super Saver yarn in Pumpkin, Cherry Red, Blue Suede, and Coffee. A size I/5.50mm hook was used. However, almost any size hook or yarn will do. You will also need a small amount of stuffing and a yarn needle. 

Notes:
sc inc:
work 2 sc in one stitch
sc dec: combine 2 stitches, i.e. insert hook, yo and pull up a loop. insert hook into next st, yo and pull up a loop, yo and pull through all 3 loops on hook. 

Fish Sides (make 2 in any colors you like): 
ch 5.
Row 1: sc in each ch across (4 sc)
Row 2: sc inc, 2 sc, sc inc (6sc) 
Row 3: sc inc, 4 sc, sc inc (8 sc)
Row 4: sc inc, 6 sc, sc inc (10 sc)
Row 5: sc in each st across (10sc)
Row 6: sc in each st across (10sc)
Row 7: sc in each st across (10sc)
Row 8: sc dec, 6 sc, sc dec (8 sc) 
Row 9: sc in each st across (8sc) 
Row 10: sc dec, 4 sc, sc dec (6sc)
Row 11: sc in each st across (6sc)
Row 12: ch 1. sc in 2nd ch from hook. sc inc in next st. 4 sc. sc inc. (9 sc)
Row 13: ch 1. 2 sc in 2nd ch from hook. sc inc in next st. 6 sc, sc inc, sc inc. (14sc)
Row 14: sc in each st across (14 sc)
Row 15: sc dec, 10 sc, sc dec (12 sc). Tie off. 

Fish eye (make 2):
With dark brown, ch 3. sl st to first loop in ch to form a ring. Tie off, leaving a long tail to sew eye on. Sew eyes on to fish sides.

Assemble fish: match up fish sides and work a sc all around the outside edges of fish sides, working through both layers. Add a small amount of stuffing and/or cat nip as you near the end. sl st to first st in round and tie off.
