Detailed explanation of the steps for hand-knitting cute goldfish from transparent plastic infusion

Nowadays, most children’s toys are bought, but most of the toys born in the 1980s were handmade by their parents. Today I recommend a detailed tutorial on how to make a small goldfish with a plastic infusion tube. The post-80s generation can follow the tutorial. One, recall the fun of childhood. If you are already a mother and a father, you can go with your child to see if your child is staring at the fish being made with bright eyes!
