An adorable crochet mermaid tail is the perfect choice for a baby's first costume or summer photos. As they get a little older, young children also enjoy playing dress-up with this type of outfit. This crochet pattern covers all of those bases, because it is available in eight sizes from newborn through approximately age 5.
There are two styles to the pattern. Most of them have a bikini top that matches the mermaid tail, which is fairly classic for this type of design. However, the smallest sizes comes as a one-piece with the faux bikini top attached, because this slips more easily over a fussy newborn to quickly take photos. It's a practical twist made by a smart designer.
The bikini tops for this pattern have a cute floral design. As a bonus, there is a matching floral crochet headband pattern for all ages.

Newborn Penguin Crochet Outfit
Kids and Babies
I got my start as a designer in the photography prop industry. It was soon after I had my first son I loved anything newborn related. By the time I had my second son, I had such a passion for newborn photography that I had become a newborn photographer. While I no longer take photography clients, I still enjoy designing newborn props. It's also nostalgia for when mine were so little. If I could reverse time, I would put my baby boys in this cuddly Newborn Penguin Crochet Outfit outfit. You don't have to be little to enjoy this penguin stuffy! He is cute for holiday decor or to just have around. And of course, I think he makes a great gift for all ages.
