Mermaid fans everywhere will love this mermaid tail cocoon-style blanket - the perfect way to snuggle up and keep out the cold.

The mermaid tail blanket is one size around (approximately 42"/107 cm at the widest part) and is suitable for small children as well as adults; the length can be custom-made to suit.

The pattern is worked using a J/10 (6.00 mm) hook and light worsted yarn (double knitting/8ply). My patterns are written in plain English, so they are beginner-friendly.

You will only need five 4 oz skeins (100g balls) of light worsted (double knitting/8ply) yarn to complete a mermaid tail long enough to fit most adult sizes.

Watch the delight on the faces of your loved ones when you present them with their own mermaid tail blankets, made with love by you!
