I designed this Fish Shaped Rug for my friend back in

 2013, when she has a new kitten. Now and she 

needs a new Fish Shaped Rug, because he has

 another new kitten.

So I thought it was a great time to update the 

pattern and film a brand new video. Although it's 

not one of the patterns For The Scrap Happy 

Crochet A Long, it is a scrap yarn project.

The Rug is stitched using 2 Strands of 

Med (4) weight acrylic or cotton yarn.

Get in your yarn stash and come up with some

 fun color combination.

This Rug measures 18 X 8 Inches, and it also 

makes a great placemat for any one who loves 

cats, fish and fishing. Put some in your camper or RV for Camping and Fishing trips.
