Description
After making the new Micro base I knew I had to make a Mermaid version for it too. And I'm content with how the fin turned out. I like it even better than the normal version with legs. I unfortunately forgot to add a little loop to the top of the head so I could use it as a phone charm.
The colors fot this little one were inspired by the first Lalaloopsy Mermaid, Coral.
Again, my ring is just there so you have an idea about the size of this tiny one.

Wow, thank you! It's just a simple yarn fringe

but... when I do them they're so messy! I need more practice I think :3

Maybe part of the reason why it looks so neat is that I used normal yarn for the hair and only one strand of that yarn (it's 4ply yarn) to crochet the fringe. Plus I glued it on instead of sewing (craft glue).

Wow! I'm incredibly impressed that you were able to make a doll this tiny. That seems like such delicate work! And she even has a yarn wig! That's pretty incredible.

I love her!!Β Β That's a great idea to twist the yarn around her for her bikini. I think I like the fins more than the legs too.(Although the legs were adorable)

Yay thankies.
I think the fin looks better than legs too. However I did it, but I think the fin is in good proportion to the body.

I agree! The proportion of the fins are really good.Β Β
Oh, did you not write down a pattern?Β

Thank you. 
Yes yes, I wrote them down, but I'm astonished that they work so well for me.

It's so cute!! I am curious though...how did you do the hair?Β

Thank you
I wrapped yarn around a small piece of cupboard, crocheted along one side, cut the opposite side and glued it on along the crocheted line.

oh ok! I am trying to make dolls and certain methods aren't working out for me. thanks!

She is so small! Very cute! (Personally, I do not like crocheting very small things, I get frustrated too easily.)

Aw thanks!
I'm halfway done with Cherry Crisp Crust and she looks so small compared to Holly.

I think it has to do with the yarn. That emoticon made me laugh!

Hmhm, think so too. Even though I already used the thickest yarn I have. Now I'm curious how small I could have gone if I had used the yarn for my Mini/Medium dolls. 
Yeah, they have cute emotes here.

How does my stitch count compare to your stitch count?
It's probably very different, because I can change the size just by using a smaller hook and more tension. I did it once and couldn't believe how much smaller the head was!

The stitches are totally alright for the body.
I...ehm...only have one hook.
π: 0 β©: 1
Lol! I have a lot of hooks, but for some reason I like 2.75 and 3.25 mm.
Do you like the back loop crochet? I've never done it for an entire doll. It does give it a special look though.

I ordered several hooks, but they seem to be stuck somewhere in the shipping process *sigh*
I crocheted a bag for my heat bottle in BLO, it looks nice though but for dolls I'm not so sure. I also had to do it for a striped shirt for a doll and it made the rows longer so the body looked a tiny bit off shape.

Hope you get your hooks soon! Yes there is definitely a time and place for BLO

Today! they arrived today! 
I have every crocheted part of Cherry finished but I needed to put her aside for a commission.
