To save ink you might decide to print the pattern directions only, i.e. pages 1-8 (and not the appendix).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe straight edges of the blanket are formed by cutting. This is not as scary as it sounds. - The minimal number to cut the fish is 12 fish for a rectangular shape and 24 for a square. If you do not mind off-setting your fish after cutting, you can make it work for 6 fish as well. But this is a bit tricky to do and I highly recommend to practise on a paper model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFinally a stocking stitch edging makes for a perfect finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sample was worked in Till Kampes.
