Hello amigurumi lovers and beautiful visitors, I wanted to share the free amigurumi patterns for you here. In my article I will share 1 pattern and how to make it for you. At the end of my article, I will share amigurumi patterns that can generate ideas for you.
To crochet the Mermaid with Flounder you need:
- 8 mm safety eyes for mermaid
- 6 mm safety eyes for Flounder
- 10 mm button for dress
- Fiberfill
- Sticky half-beads for tail decoration
- Cotton swabs (4 pcs)
- Tissue adhesive tape
- Scissors and sewing needle
The finished crochet mermaid is about 28 cm (11″) tall including fins. Pay attention, the size of your amigurumi depends on yarn weight and hook size.
The size of finished Flounder is about 7 cm (2.8″), if you use the same yarn and hook.
