Humuhumunukunukuapua'a Trigger Fish - Free Knitting Pattern

Last January, Keith and I went to Hawaii to visit my Grandparents. During our visit to Maui, we had many excursions including camping in the caldera of the volcano Haleakala, a helicopter ride, driving to road to Hana and snorkeling. I purchased an Underwater Camera Case for my digital camera, and it worked great to photograph the Trigger Fish (or Humuhumunukunukuapuua'a). All of pictures that I used for this pattern (shown in this post) are ones that Keith and I took on our trip. I decided to knit a humuhumunukunukuapuua'a for Keith as a gift. I am happy to share this pattern with you on the day that I give him the knit fish. The body of the fish is knit similar to the top of a mitten, with increases and decreases being close to the edge. Take care to keep the floats for the color changes really loose so you don't create an artifical dimple in the side of the fish. Enjoy! You will immediately notice a very big difference between the photographs of the humuhumunukunukuapuua'a and the knit version. I forgot to continue the main, central black stripe down through the body of the fish! I will include an updated chart at the end of this post.
