Marci the Mermaid is crocheted from the tip of her tail to the top of her head as one piece, even the arms are joined to the body. Her shirt is removable and the fins are sewn on separately. You will need to know basic to intermediate crochet and amigurumi skills. I do not recommend her for beginners unless you are an advanced beginner and want a challenge - you will need a basic understanding of crocheting in the round, making a magic circle, how to change yarn colors, and making an invisible single crochet decrease. This is a photo tutorial so there are plenty of pictures for reference.

You will need:

2.00mm crochet hook
DK or Worsted weight yarn in colors of choice (I used paintbox yarn cotton dk for the doll)
2 - 6mm safety eyes
stuffing
scissors
sewing pins
yarn needle
fabric glue that is permanent and washable like Fabri-Tac (not tacky glue!!!)

Size: Marci is about 13” from the tip of her tail to the top of her head if you follow the yarn weight and hook size that I used in making her (she’s approx. 15” including her fins).

The pattern is in .PDF format and is 21 pages of detailed instructions that include plenty of photos for reference to guide you through the process of making her.
