What was your inspiration?
I've always loved Disney's ''The Little Mermaid' film and I really wanted to have a go at designing my own.
What are you most proud of?
It is my own design! It took me ages to write it and type it all up, but I think it's turned out quite well. This is only my second amigurumi design (the first being Octavia the Octopus).
What advice would you give someone starting this project?
Make sure to stuff body at different stages, as pattern widens and narrows and it can be difficult to get your fingers inside if left till the end, especially the flippers, the neck and the arms.
