To complete this project, you will use the following techniques:

• Crocheting in continuous round
• forming a magic ring
• sewing amigurumi parts together
• sc : Single Crochet 
• sc inc : Single Crochet Increase 
• sc dec : Single Crochet Decrease

The following materials and tools will be needed to complete this project (based on fingering yarn):

• Flesh color yarn
• Purple yarn
• Pink yarn
• White yarn
• Pastel yellow yarn
• Black embroidery thread
• Safety Eyes 9mm x2 (use a bigger size if you are using a thicker yarn)
• Stuffing
• Crochet Hook 2.5mm
• Felting needle + pink felting wool OR pink felt and glue
• Yarn needle

For reference, using fingering yarn with a 2.5mm hook will produce a mermaid of about 17.8cm/ 7in tall. Using DK yarn with 3mm hook will produce a mermaid of about 27cm/ 10 in tall. Use a thicker yarn and bigger hook to make a bigger mermaid and thinner yarn and smaller hook to make a smaller one.
