Materials Needed for Mermaid Octopus Coral Trio Amigurumi Pattern

Assembly Instructions

• For Caro: Attach the hat securely to the head using the long yarn tail and tapestry needle, ensuring even placement all around.
• Use the long thread from the magic ring center to attach both decorative buns onto the sides of Caro's hat.
• Sew the arms onto Caro's body at shoulder level, positioning them slightly to the sides for a natural pose.
• Attach Caro's head to the body, making sure the dress ruffles flow nicely and the head sits securely centered.
• For Ozzy: After crocheting all eight legs, use the tapestry needle to carefully sew 6 stitches of adjacent legs together following the pattern sequence to create the octopus base.
• Attach Ozzy's hat to the head, then position and sew both textured buns onto the hat sides for her signature hairstyle.
• Sew Ozzy's arms to the body and attach the decorative collar around the neck area before finally attaching the head securely to the body.
• For Aqua: After creating the scaled tail, attach both fins at the tail tip, then slip stitch along the edges with white yarn for definition.
• Carefully hand-sew plastic pearls onto Aqua's tail scales and hat using matching thread (omit pearls if making for babies or young children).
• Attach Aqua's arms to the body, then secure the shell-patterned hat to the head before final assembly.
• Finally, sew a few decorative pearls in a necklace pattern at Aqua's neckline to complete the mermaid look.

Important Notes

• 💡Use stitch markers consistently to track the beginning of each round, especially during the complex assembly of Ozzy's eight legs
• 💡Stuff each piece firmly but avoid overstuffing, which can distort shapes and make assembly difficult, particularly for the mermaid tail
• 💡Pay close attention to BLO (back loop only) and FLO (front loop only) instructions as these create the essential texture and dimension
• 💡When working on color changes, carry yarn carefully on the inside to avoid visible lines and maintain clean color transitions
• 💡Pin all pieces in their intended positions before sewing to ensure proper alignment and proportions across all three characters
• 💡For Ozzy's eight legs, count stitches meticulously during assembly to achieve an even, symmetrical octopus base
• 💡If adding pearl embellishments to Aqua, ensure they're securely attached with doubled thread and avoid using them for dolls intended for children under three
