You’ll also need:

• approx. 100 g of yarn (196 m / 50 g) in the color sand

You’ll need at least a small bag when you go to the beach to carry your essentials—bikini, sunscreen, towel, and some change for ice cream. How about a bag that matches the ocean? The fish are included.
For this, you’ll need cotton yarn—preferably blue and yellow—with a yardage of 125m per 50g, a 3mm circular needle, and a matching crochet hook for the handles. The fish are shown in a knitting chart.

And you can find the pattern here.
