Immerse yourself in a vibrant imaginary underwater world with this enchanting mermaid doll knitting pattern. Perfect for aspiring knitters looking to enhance their skills, this project features a delightful mix of stitches on the tail to create intricate shell patterns and beautifully scalloped edges on the fins.
This mermaid is not only visually stunning but also versatile! By using a bendable hair roller, the tail becomes posable, allowing your mermaid to sit, swim, or stand with ease. Whether you're crafting a gift for a child or adding to your own collection, this charming knit will surely capture the heart of anyone who encounters it.
### Stitches Used:
To create this captivating mermaid doll, you will utilize a variety of stitches: k2tog, p2tog, kfb, kfbf, sl1k, sl1p, sl1k1psso, and sl1k2togpsso. These techniques will enhance your knitting repertoire and ensure the finished piece has a professional look.
### You Will Need:
• Wool in your choice of colors for skin, hair, tiara, and bra (max 25g each), and for the tail (max 50g). We recommend using Double Knit [6-8 ply, “light worsted”]. Tension square: 10cm x 10cm should yield 24 stitches across and 32 rows.
• Knitting needles – for this mermaid pattern, I used UK size 11 [3.0mm, US size 2.5].
• A tapestry needle to weave in those pesky ends and finish your mermaid beautifully.
• Two toy safety eyes, or you may choose a small amount of wool to embroider charming eyes that bring your mermaid to life.
• Stuffing to give your mermaid the right amount of squish!
• Two stitch holders to keep your work organized as you knit.
• A bendy hair roller (optional) – I used one that was 17cm long and 1.5cm in diameter for optimal posability.
Embrace your creativity and let your imagination soar as you knit this enchanting mermaid doll. Ideal for both intermediate knitters and those looking to improve their techniques, this pattern will transport you to a vivid underwater realm.
