This pink and blue goldfish pattern may not be the color scheme you think of when you hear “goldfish”, but why not have a little fun with it, right?

It’s the first of the month again, so you know what that means! Another FREE cross stitch pattern.

Have you ever had a fish as a pet? Back in the days before my blog when I worked at an actual office, I was able to keep one as an office pet. He was a colorful Betta with a lot of personality and flair; I named him Paolo. He kept me company for a little over 3 years, and I was pretty bummed when he finally died. I never got another fish, but I do remember him very fondly! I love it when little animals have attitude (and clearly, Paolo was not my last encounter with that).

Why would I bring that up? Honestly, meh. This post is about a fish, and cross stitch, and a new pattern that’s now free for you guys to download. But instead of your typical “gold” goldfish, I decided to make up my own coloring and added a little flair — kind of like Paolo used to have (he was red though). I think it would make a great piece in a kid’s room, but it could also fill in an eclectic gallery wall that’s just needing a little something-something.
