Totally cute mermaids, @kimbolo. How big are they then?
I would just put more stuffing in the neck area so if you stuff the head and body first make sure that you add a bit extra as a 'joining' bit. I find in this way they do not separate and then flop...
Hi @cryptocariad these two came out at about about 50cm from head to tail. Yeh, i prefer putting more stuffing in too - the body and head are crocheted in one piece, so its quite easy to firmly stuff this pattern. Thanks for looking :)
