Today I would like to share with you mermaid tails for elves. I am not sure where I got the idea to make mermaid tails for all of the little elves. I tried to find a knitting pattern on line but I failed. I then tried adapting a Barbie Doll pattern, but boy are those girls thin, and that pattern would not fit our elves. So, out of desperation, I decided to make my own pattern and, after a bit of trail and error, came up with this design.
Admittedly, my elf does look like she is in a sack race here!
This is a more realistic pose I suppose! Let's see how Daisy the Elf got on with her new mermaid tail this morning?
Oh yes, I forgot that they have a wet room - no bath for poor Daisy, she must have been so disappointed, especially after she struggled into her lifejacket.
Mind you, she looks very smart in her lifejacket .... and it matches her tail perfectly.

Oh my goodness these are adorable and such a clever idea! X
ReplyDeleteI was quite pleased with myself until I realised that what I had designed was basically an upside down hat!

Love these and you are brilliant at designing your own patterns-yes we have a wet room too for John and I soooo miss a bath!!!

All my married life I have lived in houses with only showers, in a way it has become my way of knowing this is the house for us. I guess our next move should include a wet room, it makes sense as we get older ... oh and no stairs!
