Whether you long to be under the sea or wandering free on land, mermaid fans of all ages will love this scales and shells crochet scarf!

Mermaids are the coolest. This scarf pattern came about through a desire to create something a little more “literal” as a fandom creation. My take on fandom designing is typically very loosely connected to a fandom. This time, I wanted to really go for it in an obvious way. So, here is Madame Mermaid, a crocodile stitch scale and shell stitch scarf in two lovely ombre shades of mermaid tail green-ish and purple for the shells. This is (I think) a clearly mermaid-inspired look.

I have to say, this was a really fun one to make. I love the colors and the texture (soooo much texture). Two words of warning – this is a yarn eater pattern and the crocodile stitch can be confusing at first. But all things consider, this is a fairly quick and easy make once you get the crocodile stitch down.
