Wire 7. Go up 21 chains, go back skipping 1 stitch and do 1 sc + 23 hdc.
Always start the next stitch with 1 slst.
Wire 8. 1slst

Always start the next stitch with 1slst. End with 1slst. If you prefer to sew the top of the head, leave a long thread.
I prefer to nail it with fabric glue. With the help of pins, arrange the wires on the head before sewing or gluing them. Don’t forget to center the bangs well. I didn’t glue the fringes, I preferred to leave them loose. Use as you see fit!

2 sbn, vp, turn, 4 sbn, vp, turn, 6 sbn, vp, turn, 8 sbn, vp, turn, 2 p. 8 sbn, further down 6 – 4 – 2 sbn, knit along the side of the sbn to the base and insert the hook into the same hole, knit similarly to the second fin. Or you can tie two fins separately and sew. 

Where there was a transition to the green thread there are external loops, we fasten the blue thread and knit the knots along the loops in a circle, knit several psbn on the sides.

Now you can make this for a baby in your life! Turn it into a doll, or add the rattle for fun, and the hair serves as fun textures for little fingers to play with! Wow your friends with this fun baby shower gift!  

Materials:
Hook size D – 3.25mm
Worsted weight yarns in the colors of your choice. I used yarns on the thinner side, due to the size of the hook, so a 3 might be best, but 4 would work too.
Used here:
Tail – Fairy Tale Knits hand dyed yarn, Triton colorway (her variegated yarns are absolutely perfect for mermaid tails!) – approximately 12 yrds
Skin – Vanna’s Choice, Beige – approximately 15 yrds
Hair – Red Heart Soft, Coral – approximately 35 yrds
Small amounts of worsted weight yarn in black for the eyes.
1.5 inch rattle insert (their smaller sized rattle would also work, just use extra stuffing!)
Small amount of polyester fiberfill for stuffing
Tapestry needle

Terms and abbreviations to know:
Magic ring
rnd, rnds – round, rounds
ch, chs – chain, chains
st, sts – stitch, stitches
sl st – slip stitch
sc – single crochet
hdc – half double crochet
BLO – back loop only
inc – increase, 2 sc together into the same st
dec – decrease, connect 2 sts into 1 sts
hdc2tog – half double crochet 2 together, a decrease using hdc
​inv – invisible
invsc2tog  – invisible single crochet 2 together; this is essentially a decrease, but done in such a way as to make the continuous stitching smoother and the decrease not as noticeable

1. Insert hook into front loop only of next stitch, DO NOT yarn over.
2. Insert hook into front loop of second stitch.
3. Yarn over. Pull through 2 loops.
4. Yarn over and pull through last loop.​

Notes: This pattern begins at the bottom with the tail fin, working in rows, but switching to rnds after completing the fin. Chs do not count toward sts on the turns, and rnds are worked continuously, without joining. Arms and hair are made separately and sewn onto the body.

Attach skin color and fasten off fin color.
Rnd 13: (sc2tog, sc in next 2 sts)6x; 18 sts
Stop here to tidy up the tail. Using your beginning string, weave through the base of the tail, between the tail and the fin. Pull it snug to give it a thinner look through there, weave the end into the inside of the body, and knot it off.
Then begin with a little bit of stuffing in the bottom of the tail. Add the rattle, and stuff around the rattle gently. 

Stuff a little more around the rattle insert. Then continue with skin color.
​Rnd 14: (sc2tog, sc in next st)6x; 12 sts

Rnd 26: (sc2tog, sc in next st)6x; 12 sts

Fasten off, and use the tail to weave through the top, sewing it closed. Knot, and weave in end. Arms (make 2)
Begin with a magic ring

Rnd 6: sc in each st around; 30 sts
Now, sl st into the BLO of next st, and turn work so that you can work in the opposite direction, working backwards around the spiral. First using the back loops of last rnd, then working your way through the unworked front loops of all the previous rnds; sl st into first loop, (ch 6, turn, inc in 2nd ch from hook, inc in next ch, sc in next 3 chs, sl st into next 2 front loops). Do this all the way back to the center of the hair, following the unworked loops.
