Five Mermaids: Octopus, Koi, Eel, Squid, and Jellyfish Patterns
**This is NOT a listing for a Physical Object**
Crafty Intentions CROCHET PATTERN 5 Little Mermaids: Squid mermaid, Koi Fish mermaid, Eel mermaid, Octopus mermaid, Jellyfish mermaid (printable PDF-file / 81 pages)
Developed by Megan Lapp aka Crafty Intentions, this is a pattern for 5 Little Mermaids! This pattern is written in U.S. terminology.
This pattern is part of a set of two patterns - The Little Mermaid series by Crafty Intentions. The other pattern includes instructions for a Shark Mermaid, Seahorse Mermaid, Goldfish Mermaid, Manta Ray Mermaid and Traditional Mermaid.
This pattern comes with instructions to make 5 distinctly different mermaids, with options for gender expression, head hair, facial hair, 3 different bras, and 5 different tails!! This pattern features clear step by step instruction with a lot of row-by-row photos. The gauge is not crucial to the pattern as long as the stitches are tight enough to hold stuffing.
This pattern is a total of 81 pages containing a full set of written instructions with photographic illustrations, and there are video tutorials for particular steps and stitches available on my YouTube channel. This Pattern consists of ONE PDF File, and the last 22 pages are Text-Only, Printer-Friendly instructions, but I strongly recommend you still refer to the photographic illustrations throughout the pattern if you have any questions.
