Without cutting the thread, we knit the fins, inserting the hook into the last row:
2 sc, ch, turn, 2 inc = 4 sc, ch, turn, (1 sc, inc) * 2 times = 6 sc, ch, turn, (2 sc , inc) * 2 times = 8 sc, ch, turn, 2 p. 8 sb each, then decrease – 6 – 4 – 2 sb, we knit along the side of the sb to the base and insert the hook into the same hole, we knit the second fin in the same way.

Or you can knit two fins separately and sew.

Where there was a transition to the green thread (45th p.), there are external loops, we fasten the blue thread and we knit sbn in a circle behind the front wall of the loops, we knit several psbn on the sides.

All Finished.

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.

Arms of your mermaid doll
Round 1: In a magic circle, SC 5 . (6)
Round 2: INC in each around. (10)
Rounds 3-20: SC in each stitch 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!
