Mermaid Fin


I had a hard time making the mermaid tail for the blanket turn out correctly. Lots of decrease and increase stitches. Fortunately, YarnUtopia included a detailed video of the entire blanket so I was able to follow along and crochet the tail. Tail was sewn to the blanket.


I made a small change to the instructions for the blanket. I thought the waist needed an edging to finish it, so I added a turquoise 5 rows of single crochet.
