This mermaid is 1 of 3 in a collection of Oceanic Mermaids. The entire collection is available as an ebook for a 20% discount.

I have designed each mermaid in a unique pose, with their own unique details. When creating them, I wanted to have a collection that could be displayed beautifully on a shelf or dresser.

For the Pacific Mermaid; I designed her in a sitting position, allowing her tail to hang over the edge, with long, flowing hip and tail fins and gently curling hair.

The pattern is classified as Advanced Beginner - Intermediate Level. She is constructed in one main piece from the top of her head to the tip of her tail. Arms are crocheted on after the body is completed. There is minimal sewing (fins & hair).

Jeweler’s Wire is used in her arms to make them pose-able and Poly-Pellets are used to weigh her down so she sits without tipping.

She measures approx. 15” tall from the tip of her tail to the top of her head. These measurements are when Medium Weight Yarn (4) and a 3.5 mm hook are used. Any weight yarn and correlating hook size could be substituted as long as all the colors of yarn are the same weight.

The pattern is 13 pages long and includes several pictures.
