I knitted this mermaid costume for the 34th annual Mermaid Parade on Coney Island in June 2016!

I’m offering this pattern (as well as how I made the merman costume!) for free on my blog:

The pattern is for the shells (which were made to be sewn onto a 34DD nude strapless bra), and the skirt (to fit my 36” hips). It is not graded, but there are tips on how to customize it for yourself.

Hope you enjoy! :)
