Why choose between your love of sunflowers and mermaids when you can have BOTH in one cozy, easy crochet pattern?! That’s right, you can become the loveliest of floral land mermaids with this easy to make blanket! The Sunflower Mermaid Blanket is a new twist on Mermaid Tail or Fin Blankets – the colors are both earthy and oceanic, and the classic fin and shape are accented by a field of tiny crocheted sunflowers. This is a Teen / Adult size, but no worries – a Kids’ Size is coming soon! The sizing for this pattern is also adjustable. Whether you’re a beginner crocheter or an established veteran of the fiber arts, this pattern is sure to please!

The pattern calls for about 810 yards of super bulky weight yarn, and about 160 yards of medium weight yarn. Stitches used are the chain, single crochet, half double crochet, double crochet, triple crochet, and slip stitch. The pattern includes a full list of all the supplies needed to complete the project.

The blanket is made to fit about a Women’s S - XL; however, pattern includes details on how to adjust for smaller or larger sizes, as well as how to make the blanket taller or shorter. Measurements for the S - XL blanket are:

Width: 29 inches circumference at bottom of blanket (near fin), 32.5 inches flat across at very top of blanket
Length: about 49 inches (before fin)

Happy Crocheting!
