My son wanted a little mermaid doll, not mer-pup, not mer-boy. He named his mermaid, Lobee! :D This cutie is crochet from the top down, continuously in the round. She is petite and the perfect size for carrying around everywhere! She can be made as a doll in one piece with a separate tail accessory (with a small herringbone detail - LOVE) or as a true mermaid! No sewing necessary, whew! These little mer-people are SO ADDICTING to make! The color combinations are endless and very fun!

Happy Crocheting!
