The Clownfish is the 15th and final square of my Ocean Afghan. To find all the information about this Afghan click here.
I can’t tell you how happy I am to be sharing with you the last and final square of the Ocean Afghan! 
This guy has a lot of color changing and ends to weave in, but it’s worth it! He adds a really fun pop of color to the afghan. Whip up this little guy, and get started on joining those squares!
