Goldfish Cat Toy Reviewed by Helen Fey on 2009-09-23 *****
I could not gather 30 stitches together to make the mouth area. I wound up decreasing from 20 to 15 to 10. Adding an even 10 row, stuffing and then decreasing to 5. It just made more sense to me. Otherwise, it is a cute pattern and easy to make. Get creative with colors to make them even cuter.
