Pattern notes:
The mermaid tail body is worked flat and then seamed all the way up the back. A small amount of yarn is threaded through the inside stitches near the top for adjusting to fit baby. The tail fin is then worked separately and sewn on the end of the body.

The tank top is also worked flat and then seamed up the back. The middle front is then gathered with a separate knitted piece.

The headband is worked using crochet.

All beadwork is added at the end.
