Today, given their surge in popularity, you can easily find mermaid tail blankets for all ages. Stitched up at the bottom like a sleeping bag, these crochet blankets are extra cozy. In addition to blankets, the mermaid tail design can be crocheted into scarves, tote bags, washcloths, and other accessories. These patterns offer whimsy for everyone to enjoy! There are two styles to the pattern. Most of them have a bikini top that matches the mermaid tail, which is fairly classic for this type of design. However, the smallest sizes comes as a one-piece with the faux bikini top attached, because this slips more easily over a fussy newborn to quickly take photos. It’s a practical twist made by a smart designer. The bikini tops for this pattern have a cute floral design. As a bonus, there is a matching floral crochet headband pattern for all ages.
