How to Crochet Baby Mermaid Outfit with Crocodile Stitch

[@dotigray9645]

After several hours of frogging last night I finally got it! I am now on the 15th row. Absolutely love this! Also I read the profile regarding Crohn's disease I think it's wonderful what you are doing. I'm a retired Gastroebterology nurse!

[@cherylmerrillupchurch3836]

I want to thank you for putting out the free crochet patterns for everyone, I am disabled and my budget is very little and I can crochet in bed as well so thank you very much!!

[@Cards4Cancer]

Cheryl Merrill Upchurch, exactly the same for me. Confined to bed, but always have a crochet project to do when I am watching tv. I crochet for the babies in the NICU, and friends who have grand babies on the way.

[@melkalloch2526]

Excellent pattern and tutorial! I've been crocheting for around 20 years but still picked up a bunch of tips that'll change the way I crochet forever. I look forward to more of your patterns!

[@YARNutopia]

Aww Thank you for such a sweet comment. I really appreciate it! Glad you like my videos! ~Nadia

[@Trf0ster]

This is the best tutorial I have come across in ages! I was able to follow it as a beginner to make one for my granddaughter, and now I'm back to make another for a friend!

[@vanessamillender799]

Nadia, you're simply AMAZING. I LOVE watching your channel. You explain what you're doing in great detail, your Dad does an excellent job on making your videos as well.

Your Personality and your journey are so BEAUTIFUL, and it brightens my day just to watch your videos. Again I thank you for all that you are, and all that you do. Be BLESSED BEAUTIFUL!

[@marcelettemjones3594]

Hi, thank you gor demonstrating the crocodile stitch, also i used your instructions and the out git came out lovely,:) .. Would you make a video using the same stitch but doing the crocodile staggered Stitch in rounds PLEASE!!!! Thank you, :)

[@brewer4920]

I am also wanting to make this but using a staggered stitch. Did you find anything on how to do that? I bought a pattern and It is so confusing. I understand how to make the stitch but the pattern just has me confused.

[@marcelettemjones3594]

Michelle look at my saved videos you might find what you're looking for.

[@Peanit]

It took me 3 tries to get the hang of it. I'm really enjoying making this. Don't know what the outcome will be as I can't get the wool like yours & mine is a bit finer & am using number 4 hook, but it'll be good as practise & hopefully will fit newborn to at least 3 mths. Thankyou for your awesome tutorials, ypou explain it all so well :D

[@annoir]

Absolutely spectacular design and your instructions were so easy to follow. I did the first five rows with no problems. One of the few times I was inspired to actually buy the pattern and at $6, it is a bargain. So happy to support this artist and look forward to working on this.

[@hananashour4465]

I really love your tutorials. You do such a fine job. Thank you for sharing.

[@jenharz]

You did an amazing job on this tutorial. Cant wait to get started!

[@superannieoakley4513]

The mermaid tale you made is absolutely beautiful and even after Several attempts, I unfortunately was not able to get this. It wasn't because of you, you're awesome! I found this extremely frustrating and also wanted to toss my computer across the room! Lol Guess I'll be making a plain ole mermaid tail! :-/

[@suggaplum2007]

Super Annie Oakley e e 4rolls d a we e re

[@collettechilders5730]

Absolutely beautiful! Thank you! Wonderfully taught! Already have plans for 2 so far! Definitely the best I've seen, none of the others have the "scale" detail, and what's a mermaid if not half fish?! Lol!

[@bettyloewen9390]

Thank You, for the easy to follow tutorial! I love the little outfit

[@melmcknight5514]

I really enjoy your channel. You are a great teacher. I'm wondering if you could tell me how to adjust this pattern to do it for a child. She is about 6 years old. Thank you so much.

[@knottygirlcreations6738]

Your narrative is wonderful and easy to follow. Thank you for making this project an easy one for me! HUG - TalkerCat

[@angelaparris3233]

I know you have a different style mermaid tail for bigger sizes but is there a way to do this style (crocodile stitch) as a bigger size?

[@michelleasistente8812]

Hi Angela, I wish she would answer. I just wanted to ask the same. I made that other mermaid blanket with different colors and it turned out beautifully. But this pattern I want to make for my God daughter in just one color and she's turning 8 so I need a bigger one too. Greetings!

[@patriciaguti]

Angela Parris maybe go to her website and try contacting her that way instead?

[@dangnt2009]

I increased the size from: (after slip stitch) to go from 50 -> 60 crochet up 3 (counts as 1), then do dc in next 3, in the 4th do two dc. Then repeat pattern. So 1 dc in 4 stitches, followed by 2 dc in the 5th stitch all the way around. (Keep count!) 60 -> 70 : After slip stitch, crochet up 3 (counts as 1), then do 1 dc in the next 4 stitch, followed by 2 dc in the 5th stitch. Follow pattern: 1 dc in next 5 stitch, then 2 dc in the 6th stitch (you're doubling in every 6th stitch).

[@ElinaTarasova]

Thank you so much! When i start it was not so easy, but when i finish i got a nice work :)

[@yleniabreu3619]

Excelente lo estoy tejiendo ...el unico tutorial que entendi 😊. Buena explicacion.muchas gracias

[@bdubble1967]

I really appreciate you sharing your pattern with us. And, it is so beautiful!! TY

[@camandpeggs1595]

I had to use this tutorial for a hideously written child-sized pattern and it greatly saved the project from going out the window.

[@janicemurray2069]

String Theory crocheted

[@kumarisudhan847]

tanq soo soomuch ive made it for my baby for photoshoot😍😍😍😍

[@millyemiddleton5807]

I have done your pattern once for a baby, i would like to know if it's possible to make it bigger for an adult? Thanks :)

[@karenlaurett1926]

i love the pattern you mentioned that you could increase to 60 could you please tell me what the pattern is for the dc to increase to 60 i have been trying to do it but cannot figure it out

[@jessicazander5756]

hi I like this video alot but could you tell me how I can practice making the crocodile stitch since I tryed fallowing your video but I couldn't get the crocodile stitch done.

[@kathyduff1082]

That is sooo Awsome I hope mine turns out just like yours love it looks amazing

[@leahgenheimer9008]

your instructions are great, though I had to change it a bit. I added stitches to make 60 for most of the rows and still found this to not fit my Two month old, granted she is big but still. I think I would also need to add 6 more rounds to make it long enough.

[@cartoondoll8370]

Very beautiful

[@bereniceesparza8504]

LOVE IT !!!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing !!!!

[@deborah5568]

Wow beautiful crocodile stitch!! I haven't seen it done this way but I love it!! What shall I do to make it for a child or children 5 and 6 years old...my granddaughters would love it!! Thank you so much for sharing!!

[@YARNutopia]

Thank you for watching and for your comment! To make this a tad bigger, you could increase every few rounds by 10 stitches, similarly to how I show in the tutorial, just going along with the sequence, then increasing to the width you need it to be for the child to slide in and be comfortable and you can make it as long as you want by stopping the increase and just doing the same 2 rounds of double crochets and crocodile stitches. I hope this makes sense and you are able to make it bigger!! Enjoy!! ~Nadia

[@deborah5568]

Fuad Azmat / YARNutopia by Nadia Thank you so much!!!

[@sherrievogel2881]

this is a great blanket

[@mscrzyrn]

Love it!!! Thank you!!! Perfect instructions!

[@maryannmoreno494]

Do you have this pattern in regular crochet stitch not in crockidile stitch"

[@joannjohnson4423]

are you ble to adjust otter for the scales to fall alternately instead of filling in a row

[@amyang7683]

I have been wondering the same thing. It really bothers me that the scales aren't off set in each row. However, it's the only pattern I've been able to fully understand and I'm not a beginner.

[@Cards4Cancer]

joann johnson you could slip stitch over to get where you can start you croc stitch where to need it.

[@Mucuscheeseball]

You are a great teacher! Thx for the tutorial 👍😊

[@almah.4766]

Hi, I like a lot your tuttorial. I would like if you know the measures finished of the tail for a baby new born, the length and width plys? Thanks

[@1105maggie]

Thanks it came out really good

[@ChristinaMessinaEyelashesSFO]

You are amazing ! Thank you my granddaughter is turning 2 and having a mermaid party in May. I'm also looking for party favors starfish, mini mermaid dolls etc if you have anything like that please let me know. Thank you
