Head and body
We start knitting with flesh-colored yarn
1. in the amigurumi ring we knit 6 sc = 6
2. inc x 6 times = 12
3. (sc, inc) x 6 times = 18
4. (2 sc, inc) x 6 times = 24
5. (3 sc, inc ) x 6 times = 30
6. (4 sc, inc) x 6 times = 36
7. (5 sc, inc) x 6 times = 42
8 – 12. 42 sc = 42
13. (5 sc, dec) x 6 times = 36
14. 36 sc = 36
15. (4 sc, dec) x 6 times = 30
16. (3 sc, dec) x 6 times = 24
17. (2 sc, dec) x 6 times = 18
18. (sc, ub) x 6 times = 12
19. 12 sc = 12
20. (2 sc, prib) x 4 times = 16
21 – 22. 16 sc = 16
23. (7 sc, prib) x 2 times = 18
24. 18 sbn = 18
We fill the head of the future mermaid and change the color of the yarn to pink
25. then we knit for the inner loop sbn (5 sbn, inc) x 3 times = 21
26. (6 sbn, inc) x 3 times = 24
27 – 28. 24 sc = 24
29. (6 sc, dec) x 3 times = 21
30. 21 sc = 21
31. (5 sc, dec) x 3 times = 18
32. 18 sc = 18
33. (4 sc, dec) x 3 times = 15
34. 15 sc = 15
35. (3 sc, dec) x 3 times = 12
36. 12 sc = 12 37. (2 sc , dec
) x 3 times = 9
38. 9 sc = 9 we knit the previous row (С1Н, С2Н), that is, we repeat this operation four times, 2 ch, connecting loop, fasten the thread.
Frill We attach the yellow color of the yarn between the flesh and pink colors and we will knit our frill for the outer loops of the sbn as follows: (ch, s1n, ch) – repeat to the end, connecting loop, fasten and hide the thread. This frill will beautifully hide the color transition of the yarn between the body and the tail.
Hands (2 parts)
We knit flesh-colored yarn.
1. in the amigurumi ring 6 sbn = 6
2. 6 sbn = 6
3. 5 sbn, 3 C1H with one top in one sbn – this will be the thumb = 6
4 – 10. 6 sbn = 6
Sew hands to the body of the little mermaid.
Bikini top
We knit purple yarn
18 ch, turn and starting from the second loop from the hook we knit 17 sc, fasten the thread. Put on the little mermaid under your arms, connect into a ring and fasten.
