I made this for both Barbie and Skipper for the 2024 donation and until there were crochet delays it was on my radar for the 2025 donation. With 2025 complete it was one of the first patterns I pulled out to start 2026.
This is a free Crochet Spot pattern you can find here.
The last time I made this for Barbie I used yarn left over from a Mary Maxim 18 inch doll mermaid kit. When I made the outfit for Skipper I used Caron Simply Soft Paint Oceana and I used that with Barbie this year.
Notes:
Do to the yarn change I used an e hook with Barbie as I had used with Skipper previously. I was able to follow the directions as written for Barbie. The only adjustment I made was to the fin. I don't reduce past 10 stitches it just works better for me.
I plan on making this for Skipper as I did before. I tried tail on Ken and I'm thinking about trying for a Ken Merman this year. I may try this in thread and see if it will work for Stacie. You never know until you try.
It would make for interesting play outfits. I rarely see the Mermaid Barbies that can then wear the regular clothes. This would let the child play Mermaid dress up and then move on to other types of settings.
