My Life Mermaid 2

I am thrilled to state this is the last My Life outfit for the 2026 donation. The end of this donation cycle is near!

Last year when I finished the donation I started the 2026 donation with Christmas outfits for all the dolls. I've decided to continue that tradition. As I approached the fall I realized I wouldn't have had the energy to approach this project but making Christmas and Valentine's outfits in the Christmas and post Christmas season was fun before settling into the yearly projects.

This outfit was a combo of three Mermaid patterns. The fin came from Sweet Silver Creation's pattern that can be purchased here. There is a halter top with this pattern but I wanted something simple so I went with the bathing suit top from Pamela Yarborough's bikini pattern that can be purchased here. The crown is a free Yarnspiration Mermaid pattern found here.

I think this is my favorite combo for the 18 inch doll Mermaid outfits. I would consider using Ellie's fin rather than the one from this pattern. I found it easier to attach.

Notes:

I used an I hook for the tail and an H for the fin.

Red Heart Wildflower and random green were used for this project.

The swim top required an H hook.

To get the crown to fit I need 38 chains and a K hook. I changed to an H hook for the final row.
