Kayla made this gorgeous baby mermaid outfit as a Baby Shower gift for a friend. She used a super soft cashmere and organic cotton blend yarn in teal for the tail, and then a soft pink for the bikini top. I love the intricate scale-like detail on the tail! The pattern Kayla used is this one over on Ravelry.

I love Brittany’s crochet projects and she really knocked it out of the park with this mystic mermaid cocoon pattern. Just look at that ruffle around the top edge! The great thing about this mermaid tail is that it starts out as a cocoon for teeny newborn babies (just perfect for an adorable photo shoot) and then can also be used as a mermaid tail for older babies.
