I made this design for the fun of having a Mermaid reading companion to read along with me. It works up really fast and makes a quick and darling gift for friends, family or you.

The crochet stitches include, sc, hdc, dc, tr and sl st. The pattern includes description of abbreviations and complete instructions.

It uses small amounts of crochet thread and any colors can be used so it is a great project to use up small amounts of crochet thread (25 yards being the most that is needed).

Other materials Needed:Small amount red (or choice of mouth color) could also use embroidery floss
1 skeins reddish-brown (or choice of hair color) embroidery floss
Small amount of polyester fiberfill
Optional (6mm pearlized beads, small shells)
Tapestry needle

Boye Steel Crochet hook size 1 (2.25mm). This is a larger size hook than usually used with thread crochet and makes working with thread crochet easier for those who are not comfortable with thread.

Washable fabric glue
