My first creation! I have altered many patterns but for this cute little gal I wrote the pattern from scratch and I LOVE it! She is for a special little rainbow-loving girl who adores mermaids and who's favorite colors are red and orange (hence the hair....but the hair is also Arial-inspired). I still have a few minor things to add, she needs a necklace and a bracelet! I am going to have a very difficult time waiting for her birthday to arrive in July!
Here are a few different angles of Ms. Mermaid. It was my first attempt at hair and the method I used resulted in A LOT of it! I will have to look into other techniques before attempting it again (she's quite top heavy). And, if you are wondering why I had to create my own pattern just do a quick search to see the absolutely awful free mermaid patterns out there! I looked at dozens of images and combined my favorite parts of each one to create this one!
Holy Starfish!! The girl will flip... she's going to LOVE it.

I *NEED* that pattern!!! I love it! So cute! Perfect size, too.
ReplyDeleteK-I know huh??? That's why I am going to have a hard time waiting! :)
ReplyDeleteS-I will get the pattern to you once I transcribe my crochet-shorthand:)
Oh, I just thought of a great idea to help me wait until July to give this to M....I will work on some more ocean critters to accompany her!
ReplyDeleteI do want to see the cupcakes soon!
Yeah... she will love that. A fish-buddy would be just the thing.
ReplyDeleteYou should totally sell this pattern on Etsy... it's amazing!
