This tail can be easily altered to fit multiple sizes. The tail is not meant to be snug around the body. There is plenty of snuggle room and ideally, you can pull the tail up to your chest to keep your arms warm. This is done fully in the round so it’s more like an actual tail than a blanket. It’s exactly what it says it is…a snuggle sack!
Note on the fin: This particular fin is knitted because I could not come up with a crocheted tail with that had the weight and shape I liked. The fin is done in a basic garter stitch that is picked up at the end and shaped with simple short rows and increases and decreases.

Feel free to ask me any questions!

Happy swimming!!
