    About

    Having already made two of these in a row, I was reluctance to make a third straight after! However when my 3 year old Niece came up to me and asked with the cutest voice ever 'Can I please have pink mermaid tail Auntie Roisin'. I could hardly say no!

    My top this for this - Get a cable length that is best for the number of stitches you cast on. Working with a cable that's too long massively slows you down.

    Needles & Hooks

    • Crochet Hook 3.75mm (US 5)

    • Single Point 8.00mm (US 11) 30cm
    • Single Point 6.50mm (US 10.5) 30cm

    Measurements

    Age range: 2-3

    Notes: I actually needed a size for a 3 year old, who's quite diddy. I casted on 90 stitches as suggested, but only worked the cocoon length to 22" not 27 as suggested for the 2-3. 27" inches would of buried her. However the pattern is so easy to adjust and instructions are given on how to measure.
