Sandi –
Is the free pattern still available? I tried the “Free” word, but it does not seem to be linked to anything anymore. I was able to see the video and the pictorial tutorial and would love to be able to access the pattern. Thanks
Ramona –
I couldn’t get the pattern. I clicked on the “here” like it said, but the pattern wouldn’t come up.
Vanessa –
Am I going crazy? I can’t seem to find the pattern to print.
Jessica (verified owner) –
So excited to try this. It took me forever to figure out how to get the pattern but i finally did by adding it to my cart and checking out.
Thanks!
Karla (verified owner) –
I love this pattern! So far I’ve made two for my girls. It’s super-easy to print out and follow. The first tail I made had the cuff folded up but I didn’t like how long it was so I took it apart and re-sewed it. I also took a piece of matching fleece to gather the middle of the cuff to make it look like the mermaid’s waist – looks cute! I plan to make a shark tail for my son by slightly altering the shape of the tail fin and adding side fins. Thanks so much!

Store was out of patterns for mermaid blanket, so I went on Pinterest and found this free one. It was wonderful!!!
Made 2 child size ones enlarged the pattern a bit and made two for big kids, 10 for various granddaughters AG dolls, and a long skinny variation for a granddaughter’s corn snake! Super simple to make, girls love them. Ones for
dolls decorated with fleece cutouts, and for the girls with sequin seaweed and crocheted sea life.
Meg (verified owner) –
Awesome pattern for an uber newbie to sewing. This was the hit birthday gift for my niece and then I made a shark tail version for my son, also a huge hit!!!

Quite nice and easy. Made both sizes in about 1 hour. I did have to use a bit more fabric due to nap of blanket fabric.
