This is the best tutorial I have seen. This lady is very good at describing and showing the pattern. I also like that the pattern is closed at the bottom instead of having to work in a lot of ends
Thank you so much for this video. Popcorn & bobble stitches were never my friend in crocheting & I have shied away from them for 48 years. But thanks to you Jodi I finally got the popcorn stitch down & can't wait to see my "I Love You to the Moon and Back" blanket all done. Felling accomplished now!
I love this tutorial! Easy to follow and simple instructions! I also love how textured the tail is. Took about 5-6 hours to complete. Instead of chunky yarn I used 2 strands worsted weight. It came out perfect using all other instructions and suggested crochet hook. Thank you! Love this pattern!
Crochet Lovers is it ok that i just started the opening and my tail is only cover my feet? im a 11 years old.....can you help? does the 20 stuff needs to cover more before i start opening? im a little worried because im using original yarn and 3 mm hook.....any suddestions? p. s. im not good at english.
For those of you who are asking about an adult size mermaid blanket, I have started mine with chaining 30 for the base and it runs on the larger size. I would recommend starting with chain 25 or even 22.
I have made this blanket for a friend who was throwing an under the see themed party. Now I am going to make one for myself. I really enjoyed making the blanket. Thank you for this tutorial! It is well explained and easy to follow.
it is a lovely blanket, I'm using the original video to make mine though by Ahuyama Crochet with English subtitles!! so easy to make even for beginners, ! tip for you though use chunky wool rather than super chunky like I have, I'm ending up with a thicker blanket because I used the wrong wool but still lovely :D

Crochet lovers, I loved making this blanket! I added 2 or 3 backpost stitches to the top of the blanket to give it something to grab when you pull the blanket. It's a fabulous pattern! I plan on making more as gifts. Thank you!!
I did it...........my daughter loves it. It was fairly easy to follow your step by step tutorial I especially like the pattern information in the right hand corner explaining what you are doing with what a pattern would say. As a beginner, following a pattern can be extremely difficult. Thanks.
+Jenny Atwall if you did three chains to start a new row, they should be at the end of the row you have just done. If you don't see them, pull out the last row you did and do the three chains again, put a marker (spare piece of wool) after the three chains so you can see clearly where they are. Hope this helps if not let me know I'll try and help you further. 😀
Thank you so much for this tutorial!! Everyone was asking me to make these and I thought it would be too complicated. Your video was perfect!!! I use two colors (one solid and one variegated) to make some unique color combos, and I use a L hook. I added 6 rows of sc at the top to give it a finished edge and something to pull it up by so the stitches don't get stretched. They look fantastic! I've finished 10 in just two weeks! All the young ladies in my family have received them from me as gifts and are thrilled!! This is awesome! Thanks so much for a wonderful step-by-step tutorial that is SO easy to follow!
WOW this is so beautiful. Finally a pattern I can follow you've given excellent instruction on this tutorial thank you, I can't wait to get started!!!!! Thank you. Deanna
im not a pro in chrochet i use 6 yarn and im all the way from oklahoma! i just finished my 3 thrid mermaid tail since my grand daughter took my other two! this one is mine ! :) thank u you make chrochet fun and easy for a beginner! thank u again
I really need my ears tested I thought she said chain 50 and not 15 and I was on my way to making a blanket for Moby Dick lol. I have to learn to pay attention ;)
OMG!! I thought she said 50 ch as well. I reduced it to 25ch and MADE the Moby Dick blanket, big, wide and short. Haha. I'm too new at adjusting patterns so I didn't realize my mistake until I was running out of yarn. OMG!!!
Great instructions. A perfect blanket for a child in a car seat when traveling. My grandchildren make sure they have the ones I made them when they go on a trip
So glad I found your video! I have a friend that wants 3 for her granddaughters. They are under 5 so I won't have to make it as big. I'm going to try one for my child first. I love that it goes around in a circle to create a sleeping bag style. Great Job!!
I used a much less chunky yarn than hers. I made my starting chain on the blanket longer, and increased much further up the length of the blanket than she did.
Crochet Lovers, Love your easy to follow tutorial! I am working on my 4th and 5th blankets now (I had to stop on the 4th to start the 5th for an upcoming 1st birthday!). These blankets are a big hit with my nieces! We even did a 'photo shoot' by a pool with my nieces and daughter wearing their blankets! I added a scalloped top to make it look like sea shells for a finish. Wish I could include a pic to show you! Thanks again!
THANKS HEAPS - I have made a wonderful mermaidtail blanket by using your excellent instructions. I cannot follow a crochet pattern, so this was perfect for me. I'm much better at seeing things visually as opposed to reading a pattern!!! Now I look forward to giving it as a present.
Thank you thank you thank you!!! excellent tutorial! I've almost completed my first mermaid blanket. only took 2 days to complete! your instructions were very clear and easy to understand and the video was marvalous!
I don't see where you have the other side from the v stitch because all I have are the double crochet. All the way around until I got my v stitch. How did you get both sides v stitch.
vondella crawford she considers a row ALL the way around, not just down one side since this pattern does not go back and forth in rows but around in a circle.
I used your pattern and I absolutely love it. It was so easy to follow and quick! Thank you for your videos and I truly appreciate your talent and graciousness to share with us. God bless you.
I spent a lot of money on many mermaid blanket patterns trying to find the perfect one. Then I found this pattern and it was better then perfect. I can adjust it to any size using different weight yarns. Thank you I'm looking forward to future patterns 😊
literally the best tutorial for crochet ive seen! Thank you for going slowly and making it easy to see what you do! I am not super great at crocheting (more of a knitting gal) but I can actually follow along with this! Cant wait to show off my mermaid tail! :)
I'm making this right now. didn't have any luck with chunky yarn so I'm just using 8 ply. From the start I added extra to compensate. I chained 30+3 instead of 15+3. then I added about 6 extra rows while doing the increase. Then 26 rows after the increase. Now I'm beginning to start the opening part and will just go until it's the length I need. Haven't started the tail yet but I will work it out when I get there. I'm guessing if I just double it from the chain at the beginning, it should work. :) great tutorial though!
Thank you for this tutorial. I am just learning to crochet and my daughter wanted a blanket. I was able to crochet this blanket for her, which is not only beautiful, but easy to create.
you don't need to be pro I'm a beginner and mine is shaping up nicely, I am however making mine using the original video by Ahuyama Crochet with English subtitles! I find having the subtitles has made it easier for me to concentrate, also you can always pause the video while you work and go back to the next step when you're ready
I have made 2 of these both adults one in red and white soft yarn and one in blue and white red heart yarn and I lined the blue one in fur, my granddaughters love them , now I am going to make a adult sized one with bernat bulky yarn and turn it into a shark, I will post pictures if all 3 when I get the last one done, thank you so much for making these step by step videos, I could not catch on to the patterns, watching someone do it is better for me, before seeing your videos all I could crochet was a line, again thank you so much :)
I'm doing the same thing. One mermaid and one shark. I'm making the adult sizes. I figured I would just increase the chain stitch to start with and the length of the body of the mermaid/shark until they are as long as I want.
Awesome!! I love that this explains in a short time start to finish. Thank you! I actually only came here to learn how to finish a mermaid doll I'm making for my sister because I just couldn't get the end of the trail right but this was so helpful and quick. I watch the whole thing and now I know my next project lol
This was an excellent tutorial. I've made 3 so far for Christmas gifts for my grandchildren. Now my adult children want on too. 🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for sharing. 😊
I'm following this pattern right now and it's so simple! And, if I don't understand a certain part I can easily work around it and it still is great! Thank you!
Lovely mermaid tail. And great tutorial. Question: How many yards/meters of yarn were they in each ball you used? As most 100g balls of yarn have different amounts of yardage. Want to make sure I get enough. Thank you.
Fantastic tutorial, thank you so much! After watching other videos I was so confused I was going to just buy one ready made but now I feel like I can attempt it myself! Brilliant clear instructions and a beautiful end product! :)
Thank you for sharing your Mermaid blanket, so easy to follow when you get to know how to do a crochet. My two god children will be thrill as soon as I finished to do one for each of them. Once again thank you very much.
So frustrated as many here, she is missing one V line at the begining, when I finish the first v line as per video and I am about to start the second one she already has 2 v lines so the instructions do not match with the video.
you lost me early on, with the v stitch, as I got to the end of the row you lifted yours and it had v's on both ends but you never showed us how to get there... so frustrating
hola, I love it...my niece an adult asked me to make a mermaid lapgan for her its been well over 3 yrs since my last one which I did for my daughter. I wanted to try to make it differently if possible yours was easy straight to the point ect. Thanks already started making it for her hope she likes it, if not I will gladly keep it for self...LOL Thank you from Brooklyn, NY. USA
I am currently half way through making this blanket, I however purchased super chunky wool and need double the amount to complete!!! just means I will end up with a thicker blanket, next time I will purchase chunky wool. I am a beginner to crochet and it was the mermaid tail blanket that inspired me to start again, this tutorial has really helped me a lot and I am now nearing to completing my goal of finishing the blanket :) I made it from the original video by Ahuyama Crochet with English subtitles!!! this video has been edited to give instructions in English, to be honest I found having subtitles easier as it forced me to concentrate
I used Red Heart Super Saver and I used an 8mm crochet hook. They came out smaller so that is why I gave them to my granddaughters. I would use a chunkier yarn and use the 10mm for adult size. It was very easy and once you get going you can see how to adjust for size. Good Luck!
Thank you, I am making this for my 9 year old daughter and found the tutorial easy to follow, but so far it has taken 16 100g balls of chunky wool & I'm using a 10mm crochet hook. Not sure why it has taken so much wool. The tail alone took 3 balls to make using the exact pattern/instructions on the video! But I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end :)
This is a great video. Great instructions. I am working on one now but it is for an adult. I noticed that the base of the blanket is rather short so I have decided to do more of the increase rounds and the non increase rounds until i get it up to at least the knee maybe further and then start with the open back. I love to crochet and this is the cutest blanket!!
Made a blanket using these steps (adding extra stitches because I had a thinner yarn) but instead of a mermaid, I made it a whale. Used a H hook, 1 Caron 1 pound skein, and 1 red heart skein for an adult size. Turned out amazing! Definitely making more for my cousins. This video was super easy and helpful to use for technique, but I made my own size as I went ;)
Such a good tutorial! I found the way you explained it to be so clear and easy, I've promised one as a Christmas present to my friend, and this video will help me to keep my promise! Thank you!
Thank you so much for this mermaid afghan / blanket my daughter wanted me to make this and I told her I don't have a pattern for it , so thank you so much for providing it ,,, so I can make it for her now . your crochet friend Sue💕 ps I love your crochet patterns and watching you crochet you makes it so easy to follow 👍😊
+Crochet Lovers I just had to tell you that I made the mermaid tail Afghan and it came out Beautiful . And it only took me three days from start to finish it came out gorgeous thank you so much and you're so easy to follow I enjoy your videos so much . your crochet friends Sue💕
Thank you so much! The instructions were easy to follow and I can't wait to make these for all my friends as well as one for myself. My parents always said I was a mermaid anyway ♡
This is the best tutorial I have seen. This lady is very good at describing and showing the pattern. I also like that the pattern is closed at the bottom instead of having to work in a lot of ends
Thank you so much for this video. Popcorn & bobble stitches were never my friend in crocheting & I have shied away from them for 48 years. But thanks to you Jodi I finally got the popcorn stitch down & can't wait to see my "I Love You to the Moon and Back" blanket all done. Felling accomplished now!
I love this tutorial! Easy to follow and simple instructions! I also love how textured the tail is. Took about 5-6 hours to complete. Instead of chunky yarn I used 2 strands worsted weight. It came out perfect using all other instructions and suggested crochet hook. Thank you! Love this pattern!

Thanks I was wondering
Thanks a lot mam
Hey I just want to ask I made the 30 chain for a Large size should I make the same number of chains for the tail ??
I made this in one day for my grand daughter she lovessss it .. so beautiful and so easy.. Thank youuuu!!!
I have made this blanket for a friend who was throwing an under the see themed party. Now I am going to make one for myself. I really enjoyed making the blanket. Thank you for this tutorial! It is well explained and easy to follow.
im here because im rly good at crochet, and because corinne mentioned this channel.
i really love the look of that mermaid blanket :D
Me too except I am o lost on this video
it is a lovely blanket, I'm using the original video to make mine though by Ahuyama Crochet with English subtitles!! so easy to make even for beginners, ! tip for you though use chunky wool rather than super chunky like I have, I'm ending up with a thicker blanket because I used the wrong wool but still lovely :D
+Marysia Roguska I used the extra chunky wool, needed 12 balls instead of 6! Lol
Julie Butler I ended up using 10 balls and the blanket doesn't quite look the same! My next one will be made using chunky rather than super chunky x

Ohhh it is great to read this!!! I'm so glad :) these is a great and unique gift! Take care

Great idea on the BP stitched at the top of the piece!
love it
Good idea with reinforcing the top, thanks!

Hi! I'm glad you found it easy to follow :) Thanks for your comment!
what type yarn u use i got bulky yarn but mine looks thinner
+Rubylee Barajas extra chunky wool. I'm in the UK. NEEDED 12 balls, so, maybe chunky is better, you should need less than me.
+Julie Butler At 4:05 I can't find the 3 chains that we made to put the slip stitch in. What do I do?
+Jenny Atwall if you did three chains to start a new row, they should be at the end of the row you have just done. If you don't see them, pull out the last row you did and do the three chains again, put a marker (spare piece of wool) after the three chains so you can see clearly where they are.

+Crochet Lovers hi, im teying to make the mermaid blanket. for an adult, should I go longer on the chain?
I am a novice at crocheting. This tutorial is excellent! It is very easy to follow and has clear and concise directions!
WOW this is so beautiful. Finally a pattern I can follow you've given excellent instruction on this tutorial thank you, I can't wait to get started!!!!! Thank you. Deanna

I really need my ears tested I thought she said chain 50 and not 15 and I was on my way to making a blanket for Moby Dick lol. I have to learn to pay attention ;)
HAHAHA I did the same thing at first
I did the same thing
Barbara Swann "on my way to making a blanket for Moby dick" I love it 😂👌
OMG!! I thought she said 50 ch as well. I reduced it to 25ch and MADE the Moby Dick blanket, big, wide and short. Haha. I'm too new at adjusting patterns so I didn't realize my mistake until I was running out of yarn. OMG!!!
Barbara Swann, that just made me LOL 😂😂
Great instructions. A perfect blanket for a child in a car seat when traveling. My grandchildren make sure they have the ones I made them when they go on a trip
I made one using your instructions, thank you so much! It came out beautifully!
great! love to hear that :)
So glad I found your video! I have a friend that wants 3 for her granddaughters. They are under 5 so I won't have to make it as big. I'm going to try one for my child first. I love that it goes around in a circle to create a sleeping bag style. Great Job!!
+Carla Mason hi! thanks! yes it is so easy, and you can decide the final size while crocheting. I'm sure it will turn out great! take care ;)
if i use another yarn for example bernat or red heart super saver how do i adjust it ? could someone please please help
I used a much less chunky yarn than hers. I made my starting chain on the blanket longer, and increased much further up the length of the blanket than she did.
You need 600grams of yarn. So look at the grams and multiple. It’s roughly 4- 6oz skeins of yarn
I used mainstays acrylic yarn. Worked two threads at the same time and followed the pattern with a 10mm hook.
@@jerichafreese9027 This is my plan. Does it work well?
Crochet Lovers, Love your easy to follow tutorial! I am working on my 4th and 5th blankets now (I had to stop on the 4th to start the 5th for an upcoming 1st birthday!).

This was a fantastic tutorial! I am getting ready to start making this right now! :) thank you so much!
:) great!
This is so much easier than the 1st mermaid blanket I made with another pattern. I will try this pattern next. Thank you!
Thank you for this great tutorial! I've never crocheted before and this turned out just perfect.
Great!!! :)
+Crochet Lovers do you have a written pattern please
How many meters of yarn did you need ?
600 meters :)
Marie-Julie Lingier Thanks! Really ? Every Tutorial I found used at least 1300 m! 600 ist great ! :)

I don't even crochet but this is interesting
I know right ! lol

I spent a lot of money on many mermaid blanket patterns trying to find the perfect one. Then I found this pattern and it was better then perfect. I can adjust it to any size using different weight yarns. Thank you I'm looking forward to future patterns 😊
i would like to know if you could use two strings of yarn together if you dont have chunky yarn.
yes u could a baby blue and aqua color would look beautiful together
Wat needle size sorry. So many questions
Yes I'm pretty sure you can, and she's using a 10 mm hook
+xKinenz is you 10mm hook labeled P like in the video, or N? thanks
soraya ricci Ahh I'm actually not sure, but she said in the video that she was using a 10mm hook, not too sure if she used a P or N... Sorry
literally the best tutorial for crochet ive seen! Thank you for going slowly and making it easy to see what you do! I am not super great at crocheting (more of a knitting gal) but I can actually follow along with this! Cant wait to show off my mermaid tail! :)
great! thanks! I'm sure it will turn out great!
I'm making this right now. didn't have any luck with chunky yarn so I'm just using 8 ply. From the start I added extra to compensate. I chained 30+3 instead of 15+3. then I added about 6 extra rows while doing the increase. Then 26 rows after the increase. Now I'm beginning to start the opening part and will just go until it's the length I need. Haven't started the tail yet but I will work it out when I get there. I'm guessing if I just double it from the chain at the beginning, it should work. :) great tutorial though!
what size crochet hook with 8ply please
+Marie Green I'm using a 6.5. it's working perfectly.
thanks very much I made a blanket and not really happy with its finish from another pattern and vowed never to make another but might try this :)
would a size 6 be ok i dont have a 6.5
+Marie Green I'd assume so. I'm not any kind of professional though. most of my creations are just guessing as I go :)
Thank you for this tutorial. I am just learning to crochet and my daughter wanted a blanket. I was able to crochet this blanket for her, which is not only beautiful, but easy to create.
I still don't understand how to do this
But i wish i was pro like her
if you really want to make this but having difficulties, try adjusting the speed so you can look more carefully.
+Charlotte Web ok thanks
+Ana Banana no problem. If you need more help just ask
+Charlotte Web no
But still thanks for asking
you don't need to be pro I'm a beginner and mine is shaping up nicely, I am however making mine using the original video by Ahuyama Crochet with English subtitles! I find having the subtitles has made it easier for me to concentrate, also you can always pause the video while you work and go back to the next step when you're ready
I have made 2 of these both adults one in red and white soft yarn and one in blue and white red heart yarn and I lined the blue one in fur, my granddaughters love them , now I am going to make a adult sized one with bernat bulky yarn and turn it into a shark, I will post pictures if all 3 when I get the last one done, thank you so much for making these step by step videos, I could not catch on to the patterns, watching someone do it is better for me, before seeing your videos all I could crochet was a line, again thank you so much :)
I'm doing the same thing. One mermaid and one shark. I'm making the adult sizes. I figured I would just increase the chain stitch to start with and the length of the body of the mermaid/shark until they are as long as I want.
How many changes did you start with for adults ?
so very pretty. Do you have a written copy of your mermaid blanket?
Awesome!! I love that this explains in a short time start to finish. Thank you! I actually only came here to learn how to finish a mermaid doll I'm making for my sister because I just couldn't get the end of the trail right but this was so helpful and quick. I watch the whole thing and now I know my next project lol
you make it look so easy
+nick4lean it is :)
This was an excellent tutorial. I've made 3 so far for Christmas gifts for my grandchildren. Now my adult children want on too. 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for sharing. 😊
Can I use regular yarn and a 5.5 mm hook (i)?
wondering the same thing
you can yes. it would just use more yarn. im using two colors and an N hook for mine. make it a bit easier.
Heather Lubbers I'm in the process of making it right now. I used one strand and chained 30 to start. It's about 11 inches at the bottom.
gallagherchick did it work that way I have two that I am making for a order and I would like to make it with regular yarn and a 5.5 hook
Excellent! I plan to use your instructions here to make one for my 9-year-old daughter. Thanks for sharing!
I am trying to follow you but I having problem in round 3, where can I find your written instructions Thanks.
My aunt will make this mermaid tail blanket. Thank you so much and god bless your hands.
Can u do step by step. Like slowly showing how you do the shank and etc
I agree I got lost
yea me too! like where do I do the increase after I did the even row. I know it says on the corners but the corners now have two instead of one.
+Nadia Petrov. i would do a increase at second v from previous round
Nerdy Chewy *"SHANK"*
I'm just making one and my little sister demanded I'll make her one as well!!! Love it!
Is there a written pattern
Next week I'll publish it on my Facebook page: @crochetloverstutorials
Thanks!
I would also love a written pattern, I just can't grasp it in the video and like to study the pattern in written out form.
+Alexandra Costakis Hey there , Did you mange to get a written copy , I'd love one to , I'm going wrong somewhere so it would really help

Question: How many yards/meters of yarn were they in each ball you used? As most 100g balls of yarn have different amounts of yardage. Want to make sure I get enough. Thank you.
Hi! thanks :) I used near 800 yards (600 grams) of chunky/bulky yarn (weight number 5). XO

Crochet Lovers wow!
Corrine was right. This is a great video!
+Teagan Protz thanks!!! :)
Yeah she was right! Wish i could croche though
+Crochet Lovers I only have a 4.00 mm hook will that work?
It would take forever and use way more yarn. I recommend a 9mm. You can usually pick one up at a craft store for a couple of dollars.
+Jen Shannon okay thanks :)
is there a written pattern somewhere ? sometimes I do better with written. Thank you!
i was looking as well, could not find a pattern for this pattern :-(
Fantastic tutorial, thank you so much! After watching other videos I was so confused I was going to just buy one ready made but now I feel like I can attempt it myself! Brilliant clear instructions and a beautiful end product! :)
Hi! This is an amazing tutorial and very simply :) may I ask how tall u are because I believe I may be a bit taller than u
:) I'm 1.60 m

Super easy to follow. By the time i made my first one I had only been crocheting about 5-6 months. I've now done tow and they are prefect!
So frustrated as many here, she is missing one V line at the begining, when I finish the first v line as per video and I am about to start the second one she already has 2 v lines so the instructions do not match with the video.
She made a complete round of V's just like the double crochets before it. It got me at first too.
Very nice and simple and you are a great teacher.. easy to follow. thank you

thank you, this is wonderful, I've been trying to work out how the tail was done for such a long time and you have the answer, brilliant :)
The only trouble I'm having is determining exactly where the corners are. Help anyone! New to crochet.
Same here! I am messing up on the corners :-(
CrystalG- same here. I wonder if stitch markers would help.
Leigh Coe ?
trying every Mermaid blanket pattern I can. I love this blanket.
you lost me early on, with the v stitch, as I got to the end of the row you lifted yours and it had v's on both ends but you never showed us how to get there... so frustrating
+Carmen Noble hi! thanks for the feedback, I'll have ir mind for next tutorials.

My favorite tail yet!!! It is hard to find one that you like and I LOVE this one
One minute in and I somehow cut my yarn in 16 pieces 😂😂😂😂 crochet is hard for me
I love the peg idea, for keeping the work steady while you sew together 👌
hola, I love it...my niece an adult asked me to make a mermaid lapgan for her its been well over 3 yrs since my last one which I did for my daughter. I wanted to try to make it differently if possible yours was easy straight to the point ect. Thanks already started making it for her hope she likes it, if not I will gladly keep it for self...LOL Thank you from Brooklyn, NY. USA
I am currently half way through making this blanket, I however purchased
super chunky wool and need double the amount to complete!!! just means I
will end up with a thicker blanket, next time I will purchase chunky
wool.
I am a beginner to crochet and it was the mermaid tail blanket that
inspired me to start again, this tutorial has really helped me a lot and
I am now nearing to completing my goal of finishing the blanket :) I made it from the original video by Ahuyama Crochet with English subtitles!!! this video has been edited to give instructions in English, to be honest I found having subtitles easier as it forced me to concentrate
Hi! thanks for your message :) I'm glad your are completing the blanket!!!
Thank you so much! I love this tutorial & cannot wait to make one for each of my Granddaughters! Wonderful job....
Thank you for the tutorial. Just finished my first blanket, love it!
This is my 4th mermaid blanket. I love this pattern!!!!!
This is a wonderful and easy to understand tutorial! Going to start making this for my mom for christmas soon!
thank you!!! It is a wonderful gift!! :)
Thanks for such a cute and easy pattern! My granddaughters loved them!
Hello, sorry to bother you but I was just wondering what yarn you used?? :):) I'm just struggling to find a suitable one, thank you
I used Red Heart Super Saver and I used an 8mm crochet hook. They came out smaller so that is why I gave them to my granddaughters. I would use a chunkier yarn and use the 10mm for adult size. It was very easy and once you get going you can see how to adjust for size. Good Luck!
Thank you so much!!
Michelle Frausto how big did it turn out with red heart and 8mm? how old are your granddaughters?
it was tiny, like for a toddler. My girls are 3 and 5
Thank you, I am making this for my 9 year old daughter and found the tutorial easy to follow, but so far it has taken 16 100g balls of chunky wool & I'm using a 10mm crochet hook. Not sure why it has taken so much wool. The tail alone took 3 balls to make using the exact pattern/instructions on the video! But I'm sure it will all be worth it in the end :)
Thank you so much for this. My daughter will love the blanket when I finish.
This is a great video. Great instructions. I am working on one now but it is for an adult. I noticed that the base of the blanket is rather short so I have decided to do more of the increase rounds and the non increase rounds until i get it up to at least the knee maybe further and then start with the open back. I love to crochet and this is the cutest blanket!!
Made a blanket using these steps (adding extra stitches because I had a thinner yarn) but instead of a mermaid, I made it a whale. Used a H hook, 1 Caron 1 pound skein, and 1 red heart skein for an adult size. Turned out amazing! Definitely making more for my cousins. This video was super easy and helpful to use for technique, but I made my own size as I went ;)
Thank you so much. I'll make it for my granddaughters ❤❤❤
Such a good tutorial! I found the way you explained it to be so clear and easy, I've promised one as a Christmas present to my friend, and this video will help me to keep my promise! Thank you!
