Scrolling I saw reference to a Chaunacops fish, which is a deep ocean variety of sea toad that can be a lurid red. One of the commenters said it looked like their grandma crocheted it. Hm. Could I crochet one?

I’m in hat making mode, so rather than make a stuffed animal, I decorated a red beanie with fins, tail, and mouth.

I didn’t do a pattern, this just was a fun little experiment. I do like how well a single crochet ribbing does for making fins.

It amuses me greatly.
