Sirens of the ancient greek mythologies were the beginning from the illustrations which you will know as The Mermaid, PAMPAMPAAAAAAMMMM!!! From the Sirens to Disney's Ariel, the mermaid exist. Unbelievable that the thoughts of a little girl about mermaids began more than twenty centuries ago, but then, it wasn't the little girl who said mermaids exist, but everyone said so! And it is the truth.
I love Disney's The Little Mermaid, it's a fantastic film to watch and quite educational, al those greek mytholgies has been taught to all little girls! I have talked enough about the history of The Mermaid, what I was going to say was that I always wanted a costume of Ariel, The Little Mermaid, but I think I won't get one from my parents, they will think I fell on my head and I don't want so. Because of that I have designed and made a mermaid costume for the Charita Dolls. I made, as you can see on the picture, a pearl colored mermaids tail, I love the pearl colors and it is so shiny! If you want to make Ariel's mermaid tail, you can just choose a green colored yarn, but I love the shiny, pearly ones. I hope I do you a pleasure with this pattern and of course your Charita Doll!

This pattern is designed for the Charita dolls which are dressable. So you can change the clothes. If you don't want a dressable mermaid, you can stop at the 11th round of the body from the Charita Doll Base Pattern and start to stuff the body. The Mermaids Tail pattern is OK, but you have to stuff it and sew it on the 11th round of the body from the Charita Doll Base Pattern. But remember, your doll can't wear any other clothes and she will always be ... A MERMAID!!!
... And your Charita Mermaid Doll is DONE!
