This listing is for an extensive PDF file which contains full instructions to crochet this mermaid doll BAY and her pretty and unique shell-tail.
The pattern includes lots of detailed pictures and written step by step instruction.

Tail and shell-top are fixed with the doll and cannot be removed.

This pattern uses UK crochet terminology.

Difficulty: Easy/ Intermediate
