Mermaid Cat Amigurumi Toy Free PDF Pattern

You must have seen amigurumi toys designed in the shape of a mermaid, but it is not possible to see a mermaid designed in the shape of a cat. I have been interested in amigurumi toys for a long time, but I can honestly say that I have only come across one crochet design like this. The crochet toy has a very detailed amigurumi pattern instruction. You will need 4 different colors of yarn when making the toy.

Mermaid Cat Cr0chet Pattern Step by Step

After crocheting the toy, you need to do a little tightening, especially on the cat’s face, and you need to follow the instructions in order to create a cute facial expression.
