Mermaid Doll Amigurumi Free Pattern
Hello amigurumi lovers and beautiful visitors, I wanted to share the free amigurumi patterns for you here. In my article I will share 1 pattern and how to make it for you. At the end of my article, I will share amigurumi patterns that can generate ideas for you.
You will need:
- Approx 150 g size 4 yarn in accent color and skin color
- Crochet Hook in Size 4.0 or 3.75
- Tapestry Needle
- Polyfil
- 10.5 mm safety eyes
- stitch marker
- Yarn for hair
Crochet Abbreviations Used
- SC- single crochet
- SC INC- single crochet increase (2 SC in each stitch)
- INV
- DEC- Invisible decrease (put hook through the FRONT LOOP ONLY of two
- consecutive stitches [two loops on hook] Yarn over pull through both
- loops. [two loops on hook] Yarn over pull through two loops)
- Magic Circle– Make a loop, leaving a long tail to work with. Insert hook in center of loop, yarn over and draw up a loop. Yarn over, pull through to make the first chain (this does not count as a stitch!). Continue to crochet over the loop and tail with the number of stitches called for. (If you need 6 SC, then crochet 6 SC inside the ring.) Pull the tail to close the circle.
Always move your stitch marker to the last stitch in the round. This pattern is worked in continuous rounds.

From here we will be increasing the head. From this point I am resetting the number on the rounds. Round 37 of the body is now Round 1 of the head. It will be easy to see and helps for eye placement and general counting.

Round 2: INC in each around. (10)

Stuff very lightly (and not all the way to the top), flatten the tops, and attach to body. I sew them on between rows 34 and 35.
Bikini Top for your Mermaid Crochet Doll
The pattern will be very different depending on what yarn and hook you use as well as stuffing preferences… But I chain to the desired length and add SC or HDC rows to desired length. I did 4. Then sew it up! Then I use a piece of yarn and connect it to the middle front and tie in the back like an actual swim suit top!Now you need to add some hair!
