I finally finished the pattern for my Lace Mermaid Shawl! This shawl is worked in Solomon’s Knot or Lover’s Knot, giving it an open, netlike feel while the long, shapely tail is reminiscent of a mermaid’s fins. Perfect for a walk on the beach or dreaming of life under the sea! It is available as a pdf download on Etsy and Ravelry.
The Hook I used was US size K. The yarn is Red Heart Boutique Unforgettable, in the color Echo. This is a one-size-fits most pattern. The dress size of the form shown in the photograph is a size 6. Its height is adjusted for an approximately 5’4” tall person. If desired, you could easily increase or decrease the size by changing the number of repetitions that you begin with.

Happy swimming,

Love the mermaid look – the fringe is especially nice. The color is perfect, but this pattern would make up in well in lots of different colors. What a dreamy garment!
ReplyDeleteThank! I agree, it would be fun to see it made up in different colors, especially greens and blues!
DeleteAssunta,
ReplyDeleteVery, very pretty! My only question is do you have to be a mermaid to wear one?
You have to be a mermaid at heart. But no, there aren't any rules except to wear what you love!
