Hello crochet doll lovers, gather around. I brought you a wonderful crochet mermaid pattern. And a Halloween themed crochet mermaid. While making this crochet mermaid, the designer uses himalaya dolphin baby and himalaya velvet yarn. Thus, a soft plush mermaid will emerge. A 4 mm crochet hook will do the trick. To make the small pumpkins, a 3.5 mm crochet hook is required. The eyes of the crochet mermaid consist of 16 mm ready-made eyes. But if you don’t have one, you can embroider the eyes with a black thread. I will add many detailed photos for your convenience while creating the crochet mermaid. Now you can follow how to make a crochet mermaid step by step below.
