Skipper Mermaid
Last month I wrote about making this outfit for Barbie. You can find the free pattern here.
I decided to see if I could adapt the pattern for Skipper using Caron Simply Soft Paints Oceana that I had left in my stash and seemed like it might be a good fit for this project.
To make this fit Skipper I had to make some adjuatments to the original Barbie pattern as she is a smaller doll.
Notes:
I used an E hook for this project and the lighter Caron Simply Soft Paints rather than the Mary Maxim Prism I had used for Barbie.
These changes were enough for making the top fit.
The tail was long for Skipper so I needed to adjust the pattern. I followed the tail pattern and stopped at row 27 as this was the length best suited for Skipper. I finished the tail with row 33. I made the fins and added them as described in the pattern. They fit fine.
