This mermaid is 1 of 3 in a collection of Oceanic Mermaids. The entire collection is available as an ebook for a 20% discount.

I have designed each mermaid in a unique pose, with their own unique details. When creating them, I wanted to have a collection that could be displayed beautifully on a shelf or dresser.

For the Arctic Mermaid; I designed her in a lying position, with her “knees” bent upwards. She has large, flowing multi-colored tail fins. She is wearing a bandeau top that is part of her construction (not separately made) & has long curling, high-lighted hair. She is wearing a delicate pearl necklace.

The pattern is classified as Advanced Beginner - Intermediate Level. She is constructed in one main piece from the top of her head to the tip of her tail. Arms are crocheted on after the body is completed. There is minimal sewing (fins & hair cap).

Jeweler’s Wire is used in her arms to make them pose-able and Poly-Pellets are used to weigh her down so she lies upright without tipping.

She measures approx. 9” tall, from stomach to the top of her head. These measurements are when Medium Weight Yarn (4) and a 3.5 mm hook are used. Any weight yarn and correlating hook size could be substituted as long as all colors of yarn are the same size.

The pattern is 12 pages long and includes several pictures.
