Mermaid Bag Crochet Pattern | One-Piece | No Sew | PDF (US Terms)

The Mermaid Bag is a celebration of summer’s freedom — a season of light, movement, and quiet magic. Its mesh structure flows like waves, and its oval shape echoes the smooth curves of seashells and shorelines. Every stitch feels like a step along the coast, where land meets water and everyday life slows into something softer. Perfect for market strolls, beach days, or everyday adventures.

The pattern includes one size, but it’s super easy to customize the bag’s width, height, or strap length
