THIS IS A DIGITAL COPY OF THE PDF PATTERN FOR THE BITTY MERMAID BUDDY PATTERN AND BONUS SEASHELL PURSE

This pattern is written in ENGLISH ONLY and uses standard US crochet terms.

Welcome to a splash of whimsy under the sea! Whether you’re a seasoned crocheter or just dipping your toes into yarny waters, this Bitty Mermaid is ready to swim off your hook and straight into hearts. Measuring just the right size to fit in your palm, she’s perfect as a pocket pal, desk buddy, or a charming addition to your ocean-themed lineup. With her flowing hair, tiny tail, and a personality as bright as sea foam, this little mermaid is guaranteed to bring a wave of joy to your day.

And that’s not all! Every mermaid needs a place to call home—even the bitty ones, right! So this listing also includes a BONUS! The Seashell Purse is a magical little carrier designed especially for your Bitty Mermaid to rest, travel, and dream of ocean adventures. Shaped like a charming scallop shell and sized just right to cradle your tiny sea friend, this purse doubles as a cozy hideaway and a stylish statement piece.

So grab your hook, pick your prettiest colors, and let’s make some mini magic!

Bitty Mermaid measures about 9 inches from top to bottom and can be made in a variety of ways! Examples pictured were made using a soft 100% cotton but any size 4 yarn will work for your bitty mermaid. The Seashell Purse measures about 6 inches using a super bulky blanket yarn for an extra plush tote!

This pattern includes detailed instructions with photo and multiple video tutorials. I am always available for questions or support. This pattern is most appropriate for advanced beginners who have experience with the bobble stitch.
