Waves & Mermaid Crochet Blanket Pattern – K3031
A striped ripple blanket with a separate mermaid doll to crochet in cotton. Naturally K3031 pairs flowing waves of colour with an amigurumi project, including the mermaid’s curled hair and little top.
Construction and skill guidance
The blanket is crocheted flat in rows, using increases and decreases to form the ripple shape. The mermaid is worked in separate pieces in continuous spiral rounds at a firm tension, then stuffed, assembled and finished with embroidered eyes and mouth.
Suggested skill level: Intermediate. You’ll use British crochet terminology, treble crochet, ripple shaping, colour changes, magic rings, increases and decreases, and toy assembly. The blanket instructions include a crochet graph.
