Are you looking for a knit mermaid tail for that little girl in your life? Daughter/granddaughter? I was asked to design a knit mermaid tail. This was extremely fun to knit!

You can save by buying all three of my Mermaid Tails in a set! See Little Mermaid Tails Which includes Ariel and Adult Ariel Mermaid Tail patterns as well.

This pattern is designed with Red Heart soft yarn. It is extremely soft and cozy. Any soft worsted weight yarn will work for this pattern.

This tail is completely seamless. It is knit in the rounds with moss stitch and cables. Any advanced beginner could knit this tail.

This tail is cozy enough to be a blanket as well. Your little girls will love to sit and read with this tail on!

Pattern also comes with instructions for the headband.
