This is the best mermaid 🧜‍♀️ patter. Its so easy and love how its all crochet in one Absolutely brilliant love it. Thank you. Xx

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Awww thanks!!! I’m so glad you enjoyed making it with me. I’m still undecided if it was easier to sew the tail on or find those stitches to make it no sew, lol. 🥰

[@claireaskew6933]

@rhondadawnbutler I found it easy it definitely saves time in sewing the tail on. I've only been crocheting a year now. And I find your videos very beginner friendly. So I thank you 😊 xx

Awesome alysia. I thought about flowers or crowns. I bet she looks super cute!! I’m glad you are enjoying my videos 🥰 I was a little worried about the way I did the fin to tail, but I hope the paper clips helped make it easier to follow along. Thanks for crocheting with me 😊

[@bonniemcpherson8021]

Do you make a mr potato head I thought that would neat to make

[@StarNoble2019]

I love this pattern but what size hook did you use?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

There should be a screen shot at the beginning, but it’s a 4.25 mm

[@MarleyRau]

Hello, what is the yarn color/brand please❤

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Almost everything I make is with bernat premium #4 in the 7 ounce ball. These guys are in aqua and baby blue.

[@kayepringle3129]

Definitely gotta try this 😊do you have a Llama?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

I don’t have a lama, but when I was doing the farm animals, I thought If I kept going after the head and before I chained to do the body, It could easily turn into a neck for a giraffe or llama. If you wanna try that?

[@kayepringle3129]

@@rhondadawnbutler thank you

[@CherylCushing]

I’m following you along but it seems you are making the boy? How do you do the girl where the bra is?

[@rhondadawnbutler]

The top is almost at the end about the last 10-15 minutes. 😊

[@aaryanna2001]

I dont get when u crochet over the bump

[@rhondadawnbutler]

It’s been a bit since I’ve done this video, can you give me a timestamp to help me figure out where your at?

[@aaryanna2001]

33:49

[@rhondadawnbutler]

Ok, so you need to decrease using the holes on either side of the bump. The first part of your decrease you insert on one side in front of the bump, grab your yarn, ignore the bump and for the second part of your decrease you insert your hook in the next hole on the other side of the bump, grab your yarn, and finish the decrease. All on the front side facing you. Does that help? So you are going in the stitches in the lower spots of the ridges. (If your doing the invisible decrease, it may not work, or be super tricky, do a regular decrease)

[@aaryanna2001]

[@rhondadawnbutler]

@@aaryanna2001 shoot, I’m not sure how else to explain it. Can you watch what I do better if you slow down the speed on the video?
