Get two mermaid patterns together!

Carter the Betta Merman &
Grace the Koi Mermaid

These two adorable, fish-inspired mer-people are fun to make and create a beautiful gift.

Their tails are structured so they can sit on a flat surface or on a shelf with their fins trailing over the edge.

All patterns are written in English, in US terms using Craft Yarn Council abbreviations.
