US English pattern by schrahki. Includes step-by-step pictures.

Nudibranchs are tiny, sea-dwelling slugs that look like living rainbows! These soft-bodied marine mollusks come in dazzling colors and patterns - the color variations in this pattern are inspired by their real-life counterparts. Instead of a protective shell, they evolved other unique defenses, like repurposing stinging cells from their prey.

= About this Pattern =

The pattern comes as one PDF file with detailed instructions on everything you need to know to crochet three color types of nudibranchs based on real-life color variations (dotted resembling the Goniobranchus splendidus, pink resembling the Hypselodoris apolegema & striped resembling the Chromodoris annae). It can be followed step-by-step and is accompanied by photos for all the trickier parts.

Next to the written pattern, the PDF includes a list of all needed materials & tools, a table of all stitch types/abbreviations required for this pattern, and also a tutorial section with detailed explanations for some of the more unusual used stitches and techniques.

= About the finished Nudibranch =

With the hook size (3mm) and yarn type (worsted weight) I’m using, the final nudibranch is around 14cm long and 5cm wide (always measured at the biggest part).
