Mermaid Tail Blanket
Make yourself cozy with this cheerful mermaid-tail cocoon! The bright colors, wavy stripes and shell texture will put you in the mood to drift off for a nap while your legs and feet stay warm and dry.
Mermaid Tail blanket is a simple, cozy and addictive project worked in the Tunisian crochet technique. Each shell element of the blanket is small enough to place all of your stitches on a regular crochet hook.
