Merry the Mermaid mini keeper is a small treasure keeper that can hold candies or toys. She’s part of the new Mini Keeperz series by the Knotty Designer. When she’s flat, she’s like a ragdoll, ready to be played or cuddled with.

The pattern uses worsted weight #4 yarn and an F (3.75 MM) hook. I used Caron Simply in Iris and Light Country Peach. Thicker worsted weight #4 yarn may make the mermaid bigger. The mermaid is approximately 14 inches from head to tip of her tail.

The pattern includes options using safety eyes, sew on buttons, Velcro or regular buttons. Pictures are included in the pattern to help with placement of pieces.

Perfect to use for gifts for birthdays, Easter, Hallowe’en and Christmas!
