I made this mermaid tail blanket for a friend who wanted one as a Christmas present for her daughter. Crocheted in a shell stitch. Tail made in double crochet stitch. Added a trip of the turquoise on the top using the same shell stitch to tie in the colors of the tail.
Directions were found online from Nadia Faud’s yarnutopia. (https://yarnutopia.com/2015/04/29/how-to-crochet-video-tutorial…) made this a quick pattern. Directions were easy to follow and the videos helped. It took me about a week to make this project. Nadia has done an excellent job teaching this how-to video.
Materials I used: 5 skeins Red Heart Super Saver worsted yarn (Macaw). 1 skein Red Heart Super Saver worsted yarn (Turquoise). Using the turquoise yarn to tie it all together, I added a single crochet edging to the back opening and a couple of rows of double crochet shell stitch border on the top.
Thank you Nadia for helping me to my friend with a perfect Christmas gift for her daughter.
