This is the PDF crochet pattern for Mara and Marina the mermaids - A fun Amigurumi project for improving beginners to seasoned crocheters!

Mara and Marina the mermaids love playing hide and seek with the seahorses and fish in the coral riff. They also have human friends like Sam the sailor. I’m sure they will make a fun addition to your Amigurumi collection.

This downloadable pdf pattern has detailed step-by-step instructions that are accompanied with high quality photos of the process.
The pattern includes photo tutorials on how to make a magic ring, invisible decreases in single crochet, and color changes in single crochet.
