Doll Add-on: Swimming Mermaid Tail Crochet Pattern by Crafty Intentions Downloadable Digital PDF

Crafty Intentions CROCHET PATTERN Doll Add-on: Swimming Mermaid Tails (printable PDF-file / 145 pages)

Developed by Megan Lapp aka Crafty Intentions, this pattern is for Swimming Mermaid Tails! This pattern is written in U.S. terminology.

This pattern comes with instructions to make Swimming Mermaids!!

This pattern comes with instructions that you can use with the Doll Body pattern by Crafty Intentions to make Mermaids. This pattern DOES NOT INCLUDE THE DOLL BODY.

You will first need the Doll Body pattern which you can find here:

On my Website: https://shop.craftyintentions.com/b/AFgsD

On Ravelry: https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/doll-body-11

On Etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1854676450/doll-body-crochet-pattern-by-crafty

This pattern includes 3 styles of waistline/chest colorwork, 4 styles of Tail, 4 styles of Tail Fin, 4 styles of Upper Side Fin, 4 styles of Lower Side Fin, 4 styles of Dorsal Fin, 4 styles of waistline fins, 5 styles of Bra, 2 styles of Crown, and a starfish.

All instructions are carefully depicted with words and photos! 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 145 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 42 pages include 39 pages of Text-Only, Printer-Friendly instructions and 3 pages of the EU Safety and Compliance Document, but I strongly recommend you still refer to the photographic illustrations throughout the pattern if you have any questions.

This pattern is available in English.
