Pufferfish
A bold, recognizable pufferfish drawn on the filet grid at 22 by 20, equally at home in nautical blankets, beach-house runners, and bathroom pieces. Bring it into the editor to enlarge it, pair it with a matching motif, or tile it across a panel, then export to PDF or print the chart sized to your gauge.

Perfect for
Skill level: easy
Comfortable for an advancing beginner. The shaping asks for a little attention, but the chart stays clear and easy to recover from if you lose your place.
Yarn and hook
For a larger pufferfish, mercerised cotton in DK or worsted weight on a 3.5–4.5 mm hook keeps the blocks square while giving you a usable throw or cushion size. Stick to one well-defined colour for the motif; the contrast between filled and open squares is what carries the design.
Project ideas
The pufferfish is a natural fit for a beach-house gift: try it on a bathroom set, or a coastal cushion. Repeat, mirror, or frame it with open mesh to fill the space you have.
Who it's for
The pufferfish is an easy win when you are making something for an ocean-lover or marking a seaside holiday. Stitch it in the recipient's favourite colour to make the gift feel personal.
Size, printing, and scaling
Expect roughly 5.5 by 5.0 inches at 4 mesh per inch. Drop to fine thread for a smaller piece, or move to worsted to scale it right up. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.
