Mini Fishes on sticks

Mini Fishes

I thought to share this pattern with you all. This pattern is one of my first 'real' patterns, so I am not sure if it is easy for you to understand. I have never written patterns that others have read. So let me know if you are able to read this, if not tell me where I can change it.
