The pattern is written in English using US

crochet terminology. Instructions are easy to

follow if you are familiar with basic crochet
techniques.
Materials:

“Mermaid” • 2.5 mm hook

• Cotton yarn

Blue/Lavender Coral (I used Schachenmayr Catania “Original”)

by Rnata - pink (225), white (106)
• Black embroidery thread
• Safety eyes 9.00 mm

I used the black thread

The mermaid is approximately 28 cm height
