After a short spell of warmer temperatures, I was finally able to get the pictures I wanted to finish up this pattern, and all in a weekend when the homework wasn’t too pressing.
Tah-dah!
It’s the Mermaid Mitts + Sandals crochet pattern, which is really 2 patterns in one! Find it in my Etsy Shop , Ko-fi Shop, or my Ravelry Store now!
Frequent readers of this blog may recognize the style of the mitts, which I had been doing knit/crochet hybrid variations of last fall. However these Mermaid Mitts are more elegant in shape and are 100% crochet stitching.
The scaly barefoot sandals are a fun land-bound adaptation of the ever-popular crochet mermaid tail blanket. My sweet enabling friends must have shown me one picture or another of that blanket at least ten times last year! No wonder I had mermaids on the brain.

After some recent experience trying to read my own patterns off of my smartphone, I decided to try and make my patterns more mobile-friendly. This pattern got a new two-column layout as a result – Let me know what you think!
