Free Crochet Doll Mermaid Fin Pattern- Sophie Edition

Why choose if you want a princess or a mermaid doll?? Why not have BOTH?! This crochet mermaid edition to the Princess Sophie doll allows you the best of both worlds! Because Sophie’s clothes are all removable, the bikini top and mermaid tail can be added for more “under the sea” play and then the dress, shoes and crown can go back on for adventures on dry land! (Or leave the crown on for a mermaid princess!)

This is just the pattern for the mermaid tail and bikini top. You can find the Princess Sophie doll pattern for free here.
Would you like the printable ad-free PDF version? You can purchase it for a small fee on Etsy or Ravelry.

 

The fin should be snug, but fairly easy to get off. If you are looking for a permanent tail, you can try this free crochet mermaid pattern. Otherwise, this is a fun extra to make for those who love fairy tales!

You will need:
Approx 100g of yarn for the fin (This is I Love this Yarn in Jellybean)
Small amount of yarn for bikini top
Hook size 3.75 (or whatever hook you used for your doll)
Stitch marker
yarn needle

Let’s make the magic happen, shall we?

Fasten off and leave a long tail to sew with. Flatten the fin. Make 2. Attach to the bottom of the mermaid body. They will both fit at the very end.

Bikini top
The pattern will be very different depending on what yarn and hook you use as well as stuffing preferences… But I chain to the desired length (a good start is the number of stitches around the body… So 36 here) Make sure it wraps around the doll JUST BARELY. It will grow a little as you crochet into it. Add SC or HDC rows to desired length. I did 5 rows of HDC. Then sew it up! Use a piece of yarn and connect it to the middle front and tie in the back like an actual swim suit top.
