Mermaid doll
Bring your creativity to life with this delightful knitting pattern for a movable doll! The arms are designed to move, the legs can rotate, and the head is fully articulated, offering endless imaginative play.

One of the standout features of this project is that the doll's clothes can be easily removed, adding to the fun and versatility of your creation.
To get started, gather the following materials:
- • Four double-pointed needles in a size that suits the yarn weight you’re using. For best results, I recommend using needles that are one or two sizes smaller than the yarn suggests to create a tight, firm fabric. For the doll, I used size 2 (3mm) needles, and for the clothing, size 3.5 (5mm) needles worked perfectly.
- • Cream yarn, such as Special Stylecraft (100% acrylic, 304 meters / 100 grams) for the doll's body.
- • Pink yarn for the dress, mermaid fin, and bandeau top. You can choose between 100% Cotton Wendy Supreme Sparkle DK (Color 1918, 201 meters / 100 grams) or 100% Cotton Adriafil Cheope (Color 03, 135 meters / 50 grams).
- • For the hair, consider using a combination of pink bouclé yarn from Bernat Baby Coordinates Ombres (71% Acrylic, 26% Synthetic, 3% Nylon, 358m/120 grams, Color Pink Parade 49303) and pink Stylecraft Eskimo DK (100% Polyester, 90 meters / 50 grams, Color Pink 5030).
