Rnd 27: Using tail color, sc in each (26sc)
Rnd 28: sc in BLO of each stitch around (26sc)
Rnds 29-34: sc in each (26sc)
Rnd 35: (sc in 11sc, sc2tog)x2 (24sc)


Rnd 55: (sc in next sc, sc2tog)x4 (8sc).
Finish stuffing tail. Fold in half. Crocheting through 4 loops total with each stitch, sc across to close. You
should have 3 or 4 stitches. You may find it difficult to work into the first stitch and that’s okay - just make
sure it is closed tightly and no stuffing can escape. Weave in end.
Waist Fins: Using fin color.

Rnd 1: With top of head facing you, and at the front of the mermaid, find the center front. In the free loopsp
from Rnd 26, join yarn with a sl st in the first free loop to the left of the center. Sc in next 24 free loops, sl st
in last loop, turn. (26 sts – 2sl, 24sc)
Rnd 2: The tip of the tail will now be facing you. Skip first sl st, sl st in next sc, (sc, hdc in next), 2dc in next,
(dc, tr in next), 2tr in each of next two sc, (tr, dc in next), dc in next, hdc in next two sc, sc in next, sl st in
next two sc, sc in next, hdc in next two sc, dc in next, (dc, tr in next), 2tr in each of next two sc, (tr, dc in
next), 2dc in next, (hdc, sc in next), sl in last. Finish with a sl stitch into last sl st of 1st round. Using a
tapestry needle, go down between center sl sts, secure and hide ends.

Arms: Make 2 using skin color. Stuff lightly, if desired.

Rnd 1: MR, 6sc (6sc)
Rnds 3-14: sc in each sc
Rnd 15: (sc in 1sc, sc2tog) around (6sc)
Using tapestry needle, whip stitch opening closed. Finish off, leaving a long end. Sew arms to shoulders.
Tail Fins: Make 2, using fin color. Do not stuff.

Rnd 1: Start with MR, place 4 sc in MR.
Rnd 2: Sc in 4
Rnd 3: 2 sc in each (8sc)
Rnd 4: (sc in 3, 2sc in next) x2 (10sc)
Rnd 7: (sc in 6, 2sc in next)x2 (16sc)
Rnd 11: sc around (22sc)
Rnd 12: (sc in 9, sc2tog)x2 (20sc)
Rnd 13: sc in 9, sc2tog, sc in 9 (19sc)
Rnd 14: sc in 9, sc2tog, sc in 8 (18sc)
Rnd 18: sc in 9. Fold in half. Inserting hook through 4 loops total, sc front and back together. You will get
3-4 sc across. Finish off, leaving a tail for sewing. Attach fins, forming a slight “V” shape, at bottom of tail.
Bra: With bra color and leaving a long tail, chain 6 – this counts as first dtr, *(yo hook 3 times, insert hook
into 1st chain, yo and pull through chain, yo and pull through 2 loops on hook, yo and pull through 2 loops on
hook 3 times) x5, yo and pull through 6 loops on hook, ch1 to secure cluster*. Chain 24 –this is 18 chains for
strap (adjust this if necessary) and first dtr on second cluster. Repeat * to * once, inserting hook into 6th
chain from hook instead of 1st. Leave a long tail.

Using starting and ending tails, secure clusters together in center of chest, under arm area (hiding tails inside
of mermaid) and, if desired, stich chain strap in center back to secure.
At this point, if you haven’t used safety eyes, embroider your mermaid some eyes. Add a mouth, if desired. It
is easier to finish all assembly / sewing before adding the hair.
Hair:
Cap: Using hair color, repeat rounds 1-11 of head. Because I crochet so tight, I find it helpful to go up a
hook size to make stretching this over the head easier. Finish off, leaving a very long tail and use this to
secure the hair cap to the head.
Hair style: Following Biz’s instructions for hair in the Pocket BFFs pattern, attach hair and style as desired.

In MR, chain 5. (sl st in 2nd chain from hook and next chain, sc in next 2 chains, sl st in MR to secure)x5.
Close MR. Suggest leaving a long tail to attach starfish to head. Attach as desired and weave ends.

Abbreviations:

over hook, pull through two loops three times. In this pattern, you will be making a dtr cluster for the bra.
