To make this amigurumi mermaid doll designed by Kristinka Toys Patterns, you first need to prepare the necessary materials. Although the doll does not have many details, I can clearly state that it has a very impressive hair style. The tail part of the mermaid doll is crocheted as a single piece with its body. Increase and decrease techniques are applied to give an aesthetic form to the tip of the tail.
Lorelei the Mermaid Crochet Pattern
The hair design of the toy is perhaps the most difficult and detailed part that will challenge you. I think a doll with such magnificent hair should have a more elegant face design. I really want to congratulate the designer for making this wonderful hair design.
