Crochet Mermaid Tail Easy Tutorial

[@PeggyKleespies]

I followed your directions on the video, pausing as I needed to, and just finished my first tail! LOVE IT!!!! Getting ready to start on a second one. The little girls who are getting them for Christmas will be over the moon!! I used blue yarn and then the same shade of blue only with a silver thread woven into it and it makes the tail shimmer! Thank you so much for this tutorial!!!!!

[@TheBeanibabe]

I have visited this site quite a few times now as I made each of my 3 granddaughters a mermaid tail for Christmas last year and now I'm back again to do a new baby tail blanket for my next granddaughter due this year, I love this pattern and doing a baby size tail has no different effect than a bigger tail fantastic pattern thank you

[@kristineeleman1435]

Finally. A tutorial I can actually follow. Thank YOU!

[@wam0357]

Finished! It came out lovely! I purchased I Love This Yarn in the metallic peacock. The metallic really brought out the "scales" even though it is a beginner's stitch. Anyone can do this. I would only suggest, as a part time seamstress, to gather the fin first, and adjust the size of the width, by laying it next to your top piece. Play around with it until it's even. Then sew both pieces together. I followed written, but referred to short video here to assure me i was getting it. This is the second pattern I've done with annoo, and I love them. Absolutely love them. Thank you sweet lady!

[@winifrye2674]

Did you use the number of stitches in the child's pattern? How long was the tail?

[@jsabrinad]

I love this shell pattern. Last year I only used the tail portion of this tutorial for a non shell mermaid blanket i already made for my daughter so she can use it at her school. Now I get to use the full pattern and truly appreciate you! My 3 year old is already excited to see me making her another mermaid blanket. Thank you so much for sharing your passion in crochet!

[@TBACK2006]

I started this for my niece and did multiples of 3, ending with 69 chains as my multiple and it worked out perfectly from watching tutorial. I started one for my other niece and hers happened to be 60 chains, when I got to the end of 3rd row it didn't come out the same I ended the row as a SC where you end as the 9 DC I thought it was odd since you stayed chain 60 in instructions and it was ok to be a multiple of 3. I have had a problem with another pattern before so I drew the pattern out on paper and figured out what was happening to mine. It appears that to end the 3rd row with the 9 DC to start the 4th at the top of the first shell it had to be a multiple of 3 but it must also be an odd multiple of 3 so 60 chains doesn't work. Hope this helps anyone else watching the tutorial and reading comments that is having same problem! Happy crocheting!!

[@yaninemolina5020]

thank you so very much for posting this! i had the same problem using an even multiple of 3. thank again!! xo

[@theresasills2993]

TBACK2006 same problem here so I did one with 69 and one with 75 chains both worked out perfect. I was getting frustrated with the 60 thinking what am I missing lol

[@haleyjo3034]

TBACK2006 was yours not laying flat? I am havi g trouble with this. I need to do 120 sc in the beginning and was reading in the comments that you need to do multiples of 3 but odd multiples only. Confused..

[@craftyladydi]

You could be crocheting to tightly.

[@herbalistics9261]

Very much appreciated and I thank you.! I did the same thing with 69 chain.

[@heatheringraham4629]

Thanks for sharing this pattern, I know a couple of grandchildren who will love it. You have such a beautiful voice for following instructions, well done.

[@ellynn713]

I made a beaded version of this beautiful blanket for my three year old daughter this year for Christmas. You are a great teacher. Thank You for sharing.

[@jachellasthings8723]

such an easy tutorial to follow and the blanket comes out stunning. thank you very much

[@htracey619]

You made this project very easy. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. My twins are in love with their blankets

[@princessbuttercup3343]

I watched this video with my three year old and she wants me to make her one in orange. This will be my next project. Very beautiful! Thank you 😊

[@lunaestrella1562]

Beautiful work. I've been searching how to crochet the mermaid tail blanket and finally your the best teacher I found step by step thank you so much for your tutorial 😊

[@AnnooCrochetDesigns]

+shelly shelly You are so welcome!!!!!! Happy Crochet !!! ;-)

[@karonjames936]

Thank you for the tutorial, I'm new to crocheting so needed something easy and fun to follow. I have now made two tails currently on my third one so i have 3 very very happy granddaughters. xx

[@robinmoreau6668]

I used this pattern a few years ago and lost the link. I have been searching for it ever since. So happy to have found it again!

[@nanasees3939]

Thank you so much for such a pleasant tutorial to watch and hear, Your explanation and links to the stitches are excellent. I have crocheted a dish cloth, and after seeing how much these are to purchase, here I am going to learn how to make them for 5 grand daughters. Sassy Craft Sisters have them for sale and they are worth every penny, BUT I'm cheap, and I can do this. Thanks again for such clear pictures and instructions.

[@julie-annemyers2971]

i just love watching & listening to your tutorials. thanks so much for taking the time to share the joys of crochet.

[@newnjgirl1]

Thank you so much for the pattern and video to make this adorable tail, i made one for my 5 year old niece, can't wait to give it to her!

[@kathleenchamp3764]

So excited ! Finally someone doing the tail with shell and decrease! Thank you! I have a lil thought for you , there are many of us coming to youtube for tutorials ..from beginners to those needing a new idea and there are many as well with learning disabilities or issues, i for instance have trouble reading patterns and need the visual due to a brain injury. when you speed the video it makes it very hard to handle ,,for different reasons. ans the music is nice just to loud while your talking and showing.I just wanted to share that as you might have more followers if they are able to get what they can . I know you cant worry about everyone's needs but there are so many reasons peeps come to a video for help. Thanks again ! excited to get this done. will have to silent video and leave on pause but its a place to start I certainly didn't have 8*)

[@dawntuxworth9564]

Lovely pattern thank you, My grand daughter is thrilled with it

[@vinsspins]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this...can't wait to finish my project, getting there. Thank you so much! Keep this fantastic video's coming...would love to see a SHARK blanket!

[@kimolson5736]

I made my first mermaid tail with fin for my 6 year old niece’s upcoming birthday. My 60 base chains gave me a waist circumference of approximately 25 inches, if I measured it right, and I stopped at about 29 inches long (before I added the fin). I found a great variegated yarn in teal and blue colors (Hobby Lobby - I Love this Yarn - Deep Sign and would highly recommend it for this project). I added a bluish-teal fin. I loved your soothing voice and I appreciated that you shared your written pattern. It took me about 7-8 hours to make. Thank you

[@marycederquist]

Where do I find the written pattern?

[@herbalistics9261]

If I can do this, anyone can. You explain it so well Annoo and I love your work. I posted your video on Google o.k. I thank you so much for sharing. I have to make 4 of them for some kids and am so glad that you have here such an easy way to make them. Be well.!

[@mommynono4089]

Thank you so much for sharing,made it for my daughter it's beautiful and she is so happy

[@denisedreefs3136]

Thank you so much for this amazing pattern! I already made three of them and will turn some girls into very happy mermaids. :D

[@Kumiko6]

Hi! I made for myself this tail but managed to modify it to my adult size, among other things like a different tail, but I used your tutorial for the body of the tail itself, thank you for your tutorial and being such a wonderful inspiration

[@kpayton513]

just finished my first tail! thanks for an awesome tutorial. I had to make some adjustments but it turned out perfect. thanks again!

[@barbarazhovtis7843]

Thank you for sharing this pattern I absolutely love it! I made mine a little bigger so I can cuddle up in it!

[@kipperlane8959]

Thanks for the tutorial. I'm sure she meant to say chain 63. It has to be an odd multiple of 3 for it to come out right.

[@MsSwitch09]

Very nice of you to share it's beautiful!

[@estrellie09]

So such a wonderful tutorial 😊 thank you so much!!! I am a beginner but I will try, I can't wait to make two for my two daughters

[@AnnooCrochetDesigns]

Estrella let me know if you have any questions!!!!

[@winifrye2674]

@@AnnooCrochetDesigns Annoo, can you please tell us how long the tail for the basic child's pattern is? My granddaughter's waist is 23 inches and I had to do around 80 stitches rather than 63. If I knew how long the pattern for 63 stitches comes out, it will help me decide how many rows to add.

[@lanetteday4434]

Loved this tutorial! I have made 5 of these in a month for the little girls in my life for christmas. I may try to make a couple more since I can do one in a weekend and not have to spend all my time on it. Looking forward to a couple more of your projects that I've seen since subscribing. Love love your channel.

[@lanetteday4434]

Mytidbitz Rivera if I still had them I'd measure for you, you would definitely need to add extra rounds. I would add extra in the rounds with 6/5/4 DC shells to get the length needed. The girls I made for were a girls size 10 at the most, used two skeins of Caron simply soft at 6 oz/315 yds for the body so you would be using more yarn to get length. hope this helps!

[@lanetteday4434]

Mytidbitz Rivera extra rows, sorry!

[@lanetteday4434]

Mytidbitz Rivera in the directions she has so many rows where your shell stich has 6 DC, then so many rows with shell stich 5 dc, and so on...do a few extra rounds before you lessen the DC count of the shells, it will be longer between the decreasing rows. once you're actually working on it it will make more sense.

[@anagriselbrito1852]

aw im in love im making it i cant wait to rap it up!

[@hedylaviolette3316]

Easy to follow. Nice directions.

[@favouritetutorials1]

I cannot find this written pattern anywhere but it's okay I wrote it out as I watched you. I love the texture that the shell stitch gives it. Thankyou. Now all I need do is work out the sizing for my almost three year old granddaughter :-)

Thank you again I seem to be making these so often X

[@ericwilliams2122]

I love this pattern it is so easy and have made loads of these for friends and family xx

[@ernestinemartinez6942]

eric williams I don't knot what I'm doing wrong after many times of trying the shells are off they don't line up where there supposed to????

[@nikkiseward9729]

Everyone's saying when you chain it has to be an odd number of a multiple of 3.

[@ernestinemartinez6942]

Nikki Overholt yes, it is definitely a multiple of 3 I think I got it right, now!!

[@nikkiseward9729]

Ya I chained mine to 66 and mine isn't adding up I'm like 14 rows in. Now I have to rip it all out. It has to be the chains or I messed up some where. I already made one and it turned out good, so i did something wrong. In one of the comment someone wrote out the pattern so I will follow that.

[@ernestinemartinez6942]

Nikki Overholt so far I'm on my 12th row and it seems right so far I chained 111 for an adult one but I've had to re do it many times, I was ready to just give it up! I hope I can complete it with no mistakes!! My stitches weren't lining like they were supposed to.

[@judyskountrykakery]

hello hun. at the beginning you said to make larger mermaid trail, it's multiples of 3, but it's actually multiples of 5 from what I can tell. I just wanted clarify so others wouldn't have the trouble I did trying to make larger. Thank you do much for such a beautiful pattern. Have a blessed day!

[@organized_chaos9001]

That's what I realized I chained 84 my shells were off center and looked like a bunched up ball of yarn so does it have to be a multiple of 5?

[@shaunaboyle9477]

I think it's ODD multiples of three.

[@yaninemolina5020]

allymak19 the same thing is happening to me after chaining 84. my first attempt i chained 66 so maybe it is only odd multiples. i left her a comment. i hope she replies asap

[@Emur22]

This pattern was figured out and is in a comment below maybe 7 months ago, here it is for those who didn't find it: MERMAID TAIL kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2SWg6CXqbqVbMk Pattern is written for 7-10 year old. TO ALTER SIZE: get the child's waist and waist to floor measurements and then adjust the pattern to fit those measurements, make a chain that fits the waist of your model, make sure you have a number that is a multiple of 6. What you need: • Red Heart Yarn 2 skeins • 7mm hook • 8mm hook • scissors • tapestry needle Pattern for tail • Using 8mm hook, make a slip knot and 60 chains (or circumference of waist - must be a multiple of 6) • Place on flat surface (untwisted) • Round 1: ss with first chain, chain 1, make hdc in same chain, hdc in next chain* • When you reach the end of the first round, hdc in first stitch of Round 1 (place stitch marker in first hdc) • Round 2: hdc in each stitch* Start of shells • Round 3:( skip 2 stitches, 9 dc in 3rd stitch from beginning, skip 2, sc in the 3rd stitch)* • Round 4: (sc at top middle of the shell from previous round i.e. count 4 and sc in 5th dc from previous round, make 9 dc in sc from previous round)* • Round 5: (8 dc in sc from previous round, sc in 5th dc of shell from previous round) * • Round 6: (8 dc in sc from previous round, sc in 4th dc of shell from previous round) * • Round 7: (7 dc in sc from previous round, sc in 4th dc of shell from previous round) * • Rounds 8-14: (7 dc in sc from previous round, sc in 4th dc of shell from previous round) * We are diminishing the number of dc (every few rounds) to create the narrowing of the tail • Round 15: (6 dc in sc from 14th round, sc in 4th dc of shell from previous round) * • Round 16-18: (6 dc in sc from previous round, sc in 3rd dc of shell from previous round) * • Round 19: (5 dc in sc from 18th round, sc in 3rd dc of shell from previous round) * • Round 20-27: (5 dc in sc from previous round, sc in 3rd dc from previous round) * • Round 28: (4 dc in sc from 27th round, sc in 2nd dc of shell from previous round)* • Round 29-40: (4 dc in sc from previous round, sc in 2nd dc of shell from previous round) * • Round 41: (3 dc in sc from 40th round, sc in 2nd dc of shell from previous round) * • Round 42-45: (3 dc in sc from previous round, sc in 2nd dc of shell from previous round) * If you need a longer tail, repeat Round 42 until you've achieved the length you want • Slipstitch into shell Use your tapestry needle to neaten up loose ends. Pattern for fin (crocheting in rows) • Using 8mm crochet hook, make a slip knot and 51 chains • Round 1: hdc in 2nd chain from hook, hdc in next chain*, chain 1, turn around • Round 2: hdc in back part of stitch*, stop 3 stitches from the end, chain 1, turn around • Round 3: hdc in back part of stitch*, chain 1, turn around • Repeat Rounds 2 and 3, until you have 22 rows Make 2 of the above (for both halves of the fin) Watch video for putting the fin together and attaching to the tail.

So I love the fin you designed but I just wanted to make it all one piece so at the ends of chain 20 I continued and chained 4 then turned and started stitching in second stitch continue all the way down.

Thank you Anoo crochet design

[@CraigsOverijse]

a tip for not getting a twist on the first row link is to crochet a few cm mayne ten or so st then to remove your hook slip it through the first st you made straigten the row and pick up the last st you made then keep crochetting this way you end up with no twist in the row when you loop it.

[@fernandaburmann2939]

Love it! Thank you so much!

[@tanjamemer3341]

is it possible to do it open? I think I can start always from the same side and in the second round I can start with a half shell... I'm not sure if this will work. thank you for help

[@GypsyRoseDukes]

Thank You! My daughter had requested for me to make her a blanket.What a wonderful tutorial! At first I was intimidated in how to make one, but you made it so easy! I have a questions. My daughter is 5'7" and 36 waist. Do you think I need to adjust the pattern? What do you think about using a super bulky yarn by Bernat 10.5 oz 300g. I hope it would not mess the pattern up. I am still learning among the beginners. lol

[@shahdsheikh6859]

İ loved this version of the blanket .... İs there a way to make part of it open??

[@donnashields9240]

I would like to know if you can use the shell mermaid pattern for an adult size and also how to do this? also, my daughter wants one that is higher than the waist and comes under her arms? thank you :-) love your patterns!

[@sweety72665]

I am wanting to make one for a newborn how small of a chain would I use ? I'm new to crocheting and your mermaid tail tutorial is the best i've found for my skill level.

[@AnnooCrochetDesigns]

+sweety72665 make a ch that fits the cute little waist of your newborn...and I would probably begin to decrease after the first round of shells..Happy Crochet this should be the cutest!!!!;-)

[@sweety72665]

Thank you

[@maymorris1143]

I love this pattern which I have made for 3 granddaughters. Been asked if I can make one for a 2-3 year old. How many chains should I start with or should I just use a finer yarn and smaller hook and use same instructions. Thank you.

[@lamisalawady3082]

beautiful, thank you 💖💖💖

[@laurathompson5386]

In the beginning of the instructions, there is guidance regarding making the tail bigger or smaller which indicates that you need to do this in multiple of 2's in between decrease rows for desired length. Should these multiples of two occur after rounds 43 and 44? Or in between other decrease rows also? I need to make the pattern longer, but if I continue decreasing after row 44 won't it make the fin too small? Thanks in advance for your help.

[@charlottreynolds3495]

Love this pattern

[@veepbee]

Hi Anoo I am very excited to make this tail! Thank you for the two wonderful options. I am buying yarn now and was wondering if you could please tell me the yarn colour that you used for the body of the tail in frame 0:24 (not monet). I really love this deep blue/green colour and would love to make mine the same. Thank you x

[@veepbee]

I would also love to know the corresponding colour that you used for the fin on this tail. Thanks!

To make this longer, do I add more rows to the 7 stitch shell or do I add further down. My tail is for a seven year old with long legs.

Do you have a tutorial for a shell bikini top for little girls (Size 6) to go with the mermaid tail?
