Abbreviation I use: 1. = Round ch = chain sc = single crochet inc = increase (2sc in same stitch) dec = decrease (2sc worked together) sl st = slip stitch(es) FO = fasten off yarn, lv tail for sewing BLO = back loop only of next stitch FLO = front loop only of next stitch \* = repeat directions between \* and \* as many as indicated I start crochet by making a Magic ring as in Japanese style. It makes the star hole tight and secure. You can start in which ever way you feel comfortable NOTE: Work in continuous spiral round; do not join rounds unless otherwis stated. Mark first stitch of each round, If the number goes up on the next rov increase to that number of stitches, if the number goes down, decrease to the number of stitches.

OPTIONAL: you may cross stitch spots on the Oranda, using orange yarn, and use black yarn to make french knots for the specks on the sides of the fish. This is called a Calico Oranda. If you leave the fish all white with an orange cap, it is known as a "Red cap Oranda". I have also included various photos of the real fish.
ENJOY!
