I love how you simplify a pattern others make so long and complicated!

[@katie-blackwell]

I agree. I wanted to make an out-of-the-blue gift for my son and a couple of his friends, and I figured there HAS to be someone who did the mermaid tail/shark fin in a simple way! Thank you so much! And thank you for sizing it.

[@lorim8070]

[@sandrademay4110]

Thanks for sharing your beautiful pattern! I just printed it. I have a few questions I hope you can answer. To make a size for age 2-4 it says 260 yards of yarn. Is this 260 yards for both colors used for the double strand or do I need 260 yards of each color? Do you have the finished size for each size? I'd really like to know the size of these before making. It doesn't say on the pattern. Thanks!!!!!

[@brandicoger6850]

Emi, thank you so much for this video, u always search your channel first If I want to make something. your videos are the easiest to follow, and your directions are super easy. Honestly if it wasn't for you I probably wouldn't know how to crochet at all thank you so much!!

[@brandicoger6850]

**I always search your channel first sorry.

[@Hectanooga1]

[@Hectanooga1]

You're welcome Suzanne!

[@RannMayL]

would anyone know the dimension for the 2-4 year old pattern?

[@TheSherlene]

thank you

[@christinebeard8429]

Good site

[@tekoahterriers]

is there somewhere that indicates the measurements of the various sizes?

[@sandrademay4110]

I am wondering about this also. Would like to know the finished measurement size before making to make sure I get enough yarn for.

[@Hectanooga1]

The largest adult size will take 5 balls of Red Heart Super Saver. Size all depends on how tall you need to make it. Up to the underarms is usually the largest that would be needed. So since people are all of varying heights, it's discretionary... so a good projection would be: 5 balls for the largest adult sizes, 3 balls for 12 to 16. 2 balls for all sizes under 12. (Gauge is 2 stitches per inch, the largest adult size I have is 81 stitches, therefore that would be approx. 40 inches around. Every 5 stitches requires 2 yards of yarn (2 strands of 1 yd. each.) So if making an adult size, and the person needs it to be 5 feet tall, that would be 1920 yards, for a 6 ft tall person.)

[@londonnrose1700]

Can I use 1 strand of yarn?

[@Hectanooga1]

If it is a chunky yarn, or a bulky yarn, yes, otherwise if you follow the pattern, it will not turn out the correct size.

[@margiecuevas9271]

Thank you for sharing this video I have a question how many skein do I need for an adult size mermaid tail?

[@naomitalbot6313]

Love this pattern. Also my 6 year old daughter is called Emi. Had to mention as it's such an uncommon name 😂❤️

[@virginiaswain2331]

For adult, my husband. Haha. Cute.

[@virginiaswain2331]

Man mermaid.

[@shamekapurdis3232]

what size use hook.

[@shorinehargrove6984]

I can't find the pattern

[@ashleymarie1483]

Love this video, but how do you revise this pattern for a newborn-1yr size?

[@Hectanooga1]

I have an easier mermaid tail pattern for 1 yr old. You can find it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWm5doRtpMeYr7c

[@lisamacdonald3114]

Thank you for posting this!!! I know three little girls who will love these!! Would it be wrong to make mermaid tails in shades of purple and pink?

[@Hectanooga1]

I have seen mermaid tails in every color imaginable.

[@Hectanooga1]

IMPORTANT: Sorry about this, but this video had a segment missing at 1:34 in the video, so I have re-loaded the video with the missing segment, you can see it here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i4evYYeJe8ZmiLc

[@diannehilburn4112]

What weight is the yarn? How many skins do i need for a 12-18onth old? What us the name of this yarn you are using? I cant wait to make this. Im making it for a coworker for her grandbaby. Please answer as soon as you can. If anyone can answer my question id be very happy.

[@Hectanooga1]

It's worsted weight yarn, you could use Bernat Premium or Bernat Super Saver, you will need to buy 2 skeins, because it is worked with 2 strands and a large 9 mm hook.

[@brittarner4680]

Thank you so much for making this video and adding written instructions. Do you happen to know how to do one with crocodile stitches for a child and adult I can not find a single video or pattern for one and I have no idea how to change it to the size I need. You are so easy to follow I'm so glad I found your video I have searched for hours to find one that uses two strands of yarn like this.

[@Hectanooga1]

Hi Britt... hmmm.... it is not difficult to make a crocodile stitch mermaid tail, but it uses so much yarn, and that is the sole reason I did not write up a pattern using that stitch. Because the crocodile stitch is worked on a base of "V' stitches, the increase would happen in the row of V stitches, and 2 V stitches per one crocodile stitch are required. Now that you have asked though, it will nag at me to work up a pattern. In the meantime, this gal does a mermaid stitch mermaid tail, and shows how to increase at approx. 18 minutes in the video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/moikn2ydqs-El7c

[@francesmitchell4075]

[@brittarner4680]

frances mitchell. Ok

[@deborahweisblatt8995]

Hi! In the written pattern on your blog, you say to go to Step 6 for size 2-4, but in step 6, it doesn't say how many times to repeat step 6 for that particular size. Thanks!!

[@Hectanooga1]

12 rows for 2 - 4 yrs.

[@deborahweisblatt8995]

Thanks!!

[@Kimzeb0410]

Hi Emi, sorry if I spelled your name wrong. I made one of your mermaid tails and I'd like to send you a picture of it. How would I go about doing that? Thank you for your tutorial it was easy and fun to make

Do you have one for a dinosaur snuggle blanket?

[@Hectanooga1]

No, sorry, I don't.

[@vondellacrawford1405]

i love it but i need a few for adults. how do i do that.

[@Hectanooga1]

Adult size is included in the free pattern on my blog: shop.hectanooga.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/EASIEST-FASTEST-CROCHET-MERMAID-TAIL-1.pdf

[@heathermartin3447]

How many yards do you think it would take for a 10-12 year old mermaid tail?

[@Hectanooga1]

If you purchase 2 skeins of red heart super saver, that should be enough for sure.

Hi Emi, is it me, or does the video jump from the first round in which you are doing 12 dc in the ring, to what appears to be the 3rd or 4 the round where you spoke about 2 dc in each stitch?

[@Hectanooga1]

Hi Gracist... I don't think there is anything missing: 1st row: 12 dc in the ring. 2nd row: 2 dc in each stitch around 3rd row: 2 dc in every 2nd stitch around. Is that what you are seeing?

[@ShoSensei]

Hectanooga1 - Crochet, Knitting, Jewelry, Crafts, Cooking Hi Emi, Maybe it's just me, but after you show us how to slip stitch and form a ring, you chain 2 and tell us to make 12 dc in the ring....you do two dc and say that you're going to do 12 dc in the ring.... I hear the video being paused, and when the video comes back, the piece is MUCH bigger and you are saying 'ok, I've done 2 dc in each stitch around.....it's like I'm missing where you finished the 12 dc in the ring and the part where you start the 2nd round of 2 dc in each stitch around.....

[@Hectanooga1]

Yes, you are right... I see that now. I had so much trouble taping this video, and I had to re-do it... and I guess I left out a segment... now I don't know what to do about that. If I re-do it and re-list it....hmmm.... maybe I will just re-do, and leave this one up with a note on it, and re-list the one with the correction.....I guess that is what I will do, I don't want to delete this one, as it has gone out to so many already in a notice.... gonna see if I can find that part in the raw footage... hopefully I don't have to re-make the project. Thanks for being so consciencious!!!

[@ShoSensei]

Hectanooga1 - Crochet, Knitting, Jewelry, Crafts, Cooking I'm glad I'm not crazy, but I'm so sorry to make extra work for you Emi!! You already devote so much time to make all your wonderful videos and tutorials for us!! I really hope you can just add a note on this video??

[@Hectanooga1]

Hi again Gracist... I found the correct video, just uploading it now. I recorded it and taped it a few times, and I inadvertently deleted the wrong one from my desktop, and uploaded the wrong one. Thanks again!

[@paulalaney2729]

I can't get to the pattern. It says server error.

[@Hectanooga1]

I had to close down the blog, as my blog manager got hacked, and it affected my blog as well.... I posted it on Ravelry for free: www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/mermaid-tail-14

[@tonifarrar8099]

Unable to download pattern

[@Hectanooga1]

You can't download the pattern from my blog. I don't think I have an option to add downloadable patterns, if so, I have not found a way to do that. My blog is an old one, from way back about 10 years ago, and if I update to a new one, I will lose all the patterns I have loaded up on it. You can highlight it to be able to go right to the pattern, and this is how you would do it. Open the pattern page on my blog, and then highlight the url at the top of the page in blue... then drag the blue url onto your desktop, and then you can just click on the desktop icon, and be taken directly to the pattern any time you want. I hope that helps! Kind regards, Emi

[@amyp5976]

I hear a kitty purring?? ☺

[@Hectanooga1]

Everyone thinks that, but no, my camera rests on the top of a glass pitcher, and it vibrates a bit, which sounds like a cat purring. All my kitties are now in kitty heaven.
