Developed by Megan Lapp aka Crafty Intentions, this pattern is for FIVE Different Mermaids!!

It is
recommended for advanced beginner skill level or above. Gauge is not crucial to the pattern of the body, head,
and limbs, as long as the stitches are tight enough to hold the stuffing. A D or G size crochet hook is
recommended with worsted weight (Medium 4) yarn and you will need a darning needle to weave in the yarn
ends and sew any holes shut. A Mermaid from this pattern is approximately 7 inches tall and about 1-2 inches
wide. This pattern is written in U.S. terminology. Have fun!

Glossary of Terms:

[Brackets] Brackets [like this] are used to indicate that these stitches are BLO or FLO. Ex.: BLO

& Located between two stitches, the & indicates that both stitches are made into the same
stitch, as an increase – but with two different types of stitches.
< or > Indicates the stitch will start (<) or finish (>) in the same stitch as the last stitch or
the next stitch.
<Dec> Beginning in the SAME stitch as your last stitch, make a decrease stitch into that
and the next stitch, then into the same stitch that the decrease stitch ends in, begin
your next stitch.

Stitch, Ch 1 for each row. This DOES affect the shape of each piece, but in a minor way, as the
piece was written with the seam shift in mind. If you prefer to crochet in spiral/in
the round you are welcome to try it but I do not guarantee that all asymmetrical
sections will come out exactly as shown.

6-inch Strands of yarn that you can brush out or Oriented to the Front-Center of the hair, Slip

stitch back along the Chain. If you want the hair to be straighter (More
resembling Dreadlocks), do fewer Increases when you stitch back along the
