I have to tell you. you are the best instructor out here. always easy to follow and your skill is beautifully worked.

[@MrAsebedo]

I am so happy you posted this mermaid tail video, I have been searching everywhere for one. My daughter had a baby girl & named her Arial . She saw a post on fb of a crochet mermaid outfit with tail,top, & headband and asked me if I could make one for my new granddaughter. Thank you for posting the mermaid tail, maybe you can do the top & headband and make it a complete outfit. I love all your video's

[@lindaamann5322]

I just made this for my soon to be born grand daughter. It turned out great!!! I love following along with you, and in my humble opinion. (to show you I paid attention) you do not go too fast, and yes, I used the pause and "rewind" a lot! Thank you so much for this, and all your tutorials.

[@heidicornwell7936]

[@MariaJimenez-kt3st]

Thank You Yolanda for teaching me how to crochet the mermaid tail

[@oregon3158]

Looks like the one I made my grand daughter as Halloween costume two year ago. I thought it was gonna be hard, but very easy to work up. I had it done in a day. Love your color choice.

[@nicolep.7731]

Thank you so much for posting this great tutorial! I haven't quite finished mine yet, but I know I never could have done it with a traditional written pattern. This is beyond helpful. Thanks!

[@Proudnoob420]

I have been watching your videos, and I have learned so much.. You make crocheting look easy and fun, compared to all the other videos!!! THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!

[@gaberowan2011]

[@yayasrdz]

[@lorrainebaldwin5962]

i love your work ,you explaine it very clear ,thanks going try the mermaid blanket

[@TexasValentina]

I love your videos so much! I have learned how to make so many things from you. I thought I would share with you that I used the bottom part of this pattern up to the end of the increases, then I did shell stitches, which I had to just work out, how many to go around and measure my granddaughter, to the correct length. I used double thread and it made the outfit look like scales on the top and its so beautiful!! Thanks so much!

[@kimberlykatrineparedes6564]

Hi Yolanda. I'm from Philippines and love all your videos. God Bless You always :)

[@stephaniehayes6139]

I adjusted this pattern for my 3 year old. i repeated rows 14 and 15 until I got my desired width. I love this pattern

[@briannaporter8290]

Thanks, I wanted to do the same, but wasn't sure how because I'm a beginner!

[@stephaniehayes6139]

Your welcom

[@heatherklehm7574]

+Stephanie Hayes did you repeat rows 14 and 15 after you did the 30 rows?

[@stephaniehayes6139]

+Heather Klehm I repeated it until i got my desired width so it would really depend on how wide u need it

[@kaylabatten8707]

+Stephanie Hayes but do you do row 14 and 15 then do the 30 rows of double crochet then repeat row 14 and 15 after or just do 14 and 15 over and over before the 30 rows

[@lesliewilliamson4983]

I love this tutorial! Thank you for sharing!!

[@krykot56]

Jakie masz ładne paznokcie.Ale super robisz na szydełku......pozdrawiam :)

[@sharonthecatswhiskers1127]

you mention about making it wider so where do you add the increases to do that please, would it be before you do the 3 rows then the increase at each side or after the 3 rows?

[@charj1108]

I absolutely LOVE your tutorials!! Your instructions are so clear. I've been able to make several of the things you've posted tutorials for. The only thing that I don't think I have seen in your tutorials is the amount of yarn needed for the patterns! I want to try the Mermaid Tail, but want to have enough yarn before I start. Could you please tell me how much I'll need? Thank you!!

[@pattipayne57]

Yolanda I was wondering I am making this for a one year old can you tell me how many extra rows I need to add? Also my granddaughter wants one and she is going to turn 6. Do you have a pattern so I can make it for her? Please let me know something real soon! Thanks!

Hi Yolanda. Like the others, I enjoy your tutorials! Can you make a suggestion as to what else could be added to this to make it complete... like maybe a top, or headband, or cap of some sort?? Any input would be greatly appreciated!

[@debd3354]

I love love love your videos! Was wondering if I use a larger hook,and start increasing at the beginning ,would that work for a 7-10 yr.old, please help I would love to get my party started!

[@nicoleowens757]

Yes, I agree with her! :) haha, a friend of mine wants this for her daughter and she wanted me to do it for her cx

[@lyndseyvickers1852]

What size hook should I use to make for a child ages 3-5? Or how many extra rows to add

[@susanwalker1870]

Hi Yolanda, I was wondering if the mermaid tail you did can be made in adult size, I'm new to crocheting and I can follow your video's easily. Thank you for teaching me to crochet it's almost been 12months now and I love it.

[@missyrichard29]

[@brookelindsey7158]
