US English pattern by Handmade by Halime. Includes step-by-step pictures.

Mina the mermaid – Amigurumi mermaid doll / girl crochet pattern - English pattern, Svensk virkmönster, (more languages to be added)

The English pattern is written in US crochet terms.

The pattern is straight forward and easy to follow. There is lots of pictures in this pattern – lots of step by step images, especially on the special parts.

On the special parts you will also find a link to my youtube tutorials.

You need to know the basic crochet skill for amigurumi, especially how to work in rounds or spiral. Some examples of stitches; single crochet, color changes, increases and decreases.

For the best result I would recommend to use metallic wire inside the doll. To make the arms adjustable but also to make sure head doesn't fall down due to small neck. You can find more information about in in my youtube tutorial for this pattern (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x_KDz8nXWcM) or in the pattern itself.
