This delightful mermaid features a beautifully textured scaly tail and offers two different hairstyle options to suit your creative vision: a full head of long, flowing curly hair or a stylish ponytail. Each version includes a charming starfish accessory. Perfect for adding a touch of oceanic wonder to your amigurumi collection.

ABOUT THE PATTERN

The pattern starts from the top of the head and works down, incorporating the arms as you crochet. There is also the option to crochet in the tail as you go, rather than sewing it on. The hair, top and starfish are then crocheted separately. There is some sewing required for attaching the eyes, hair, starfish and top and a little simple embroidery for the mouth. I’ve provided options for either safety eyes or crocheted eyes. Using DK yarn and a 2.5mm hook, Eggy Mermaid reaches a height of approximately 11cm.

SKILL LEVEL

I have assigned an intermediate skill level to this pattern. While the majority of it involves simple stitches, some assembly is required in sewing components together. Additionally, crocheting the curly hair and the scales for the tail can be a bit fiddly and time consuming.
