More Mer...Maids and Men

I never imagined when I shared my first

crocheted mermaid doll that it would be so well received, by cyber and real life friends alike!

It wasn't long after making my first doll that I received an order from a friend

for eight more!!

Here is what I came up with...

 I had fun coming up with different hair and fin combinations...not to mention eye color!

AND

 of course, who doesn't want a little romance...mermaids are no exception,

so a merman order soon followed.

Here is my hunky mer of a man!

 

You can barely see it, but he has a cock eyed grin.

 

As with the ladies, I find the hair and facial details the most challenging part,

but I think he turned out lookin' pretty good.

 

"Look at you, still all muscly and everything."

As it goes with people mers in love, 

I expect there to be a couple of merbabies by Christmas. ;)

For those of you who have asked about this pattern,

after making nine of the ladies, I have a pretty good working pattern down,

and with a little more work I can probably do the same with the merman.
I plan to offer these patterns for sale on Etsy in the future...but right now, there is no definite date. 

I will be sure to announce it here on the blog when I do though!
