Paros the trivet fish a seaside-style decoration for your beach house and beyond
Have you already read our article: Summer Crochet – 3 crochet projects for your beach house (and beyond)? If so, today we’re diving deeper into the second of the three suggestions: a useful, fun, and super summery decoration perfect for bringing a coastal touch to your kitchen... even if you don’t live by the sea!
Let us introduce you to Paros, the fish-shaped trivet inspired by the colors and atmosphere of the Greek island of the same name: bright white, deep blue, and a touch of sunny yellow. This project captures all the freshness of summer and is perfect for those who love to decorate their table with creativity.
Paros: the step-by-step crochet tutorial
A project that grows round after round, alternating single crochets, double crochets, half-double crochets, and puff stitches, in a play of increases and decreases that creates a fun and useful shape… that of a stylized fish to use as a trivet or a hanging decoration.
Recommended materials:
- Drake medium cotton yarn (white, light blue, yellow)
- Crochet hook suitable for yarn size 3.5 mm
- Darning needle
- Scissors
- A pinch of patience and a strong desire for summer!

Final detail: the eye

Paros: the Greek island that inspired this project
Paros is one of the Cycladic Islands that inspired us on this summer journey of crochet and relaxation. Its bright whites, blue doors, and golden sunshine guided us in choosing the yarns and setting the mood for this simple yet striking decoration.
Save the project, share it, and... keep the journey going!
Paros is the second project of the “Summer Crochet” series – if you missed the first one, go read the full article here, and don’t miss the next one!
A fish that smells like summer, relaxation, and creativity
The Paros project is not just a trivet, but a little handmade journey through color, Mediterranean inspiration, and a longing for lightness. Ideal for adding a seaside vibe to your kitchen or as a unique handmade gift idea, this crochet fish carries with it the scent of the sea and the calm of a summer afternoon.
Whether you're by the sea, in the city, or in the mountains, the magic of crochet is just this: you can always feel on holiday with a hook in hand.
Stay tuned for the third project in our summer series and... happy crocheting!
