How many times have you gone swimming or laid on the beach or poolside, and imagined you were a mermaid? We've all done it at least once.
After all, wouldn't it be cool to be able to breathe underwater? And have perfect hair all the time? And a beautiful, sparkling tail?
Well, okay, having legs is pretty useful on land.
Luckily for all you sea-dreamers, one crafty Etsy shop owner, Melanie Campbell of CassJamesDesigns, has created an amazing blanket that will not only keep you warm on cold wintry days, but also turn you, at least temporarily, into the gorgeous mermaid of your childhood dreams. After all, everyone loves to be snuggly and warm, even chickens!
How? Very simple: she simply crochets a conical blanket and adds a ribbed fin on the end and voila! Instant mermaid. These blankets are available in multiple sizes and colors, and are made to order.
Now you know what to add to that holiday wish list!
[H/T: My Modern Met]
During the cold winter months, nothing is better than cuddling up on the couch with a comfy blanket.
But why not jazz things up a bit with a Mermaid Blanket!
Each blanket is crocheted by hand and made to order. You simply slip your feet inside and lay the rest over your lap, and then you're a winter mermaid!
Each Mermaid Blanket comes in toddler, child, and — yes — adult sizes. Because being a mermaid knows no age restriction.
They also come in two colors, although it's possible that Melanie may add more colors to her selection.
And they're also made from acrylic, so they're totally machine-washable. After all, a mermaid's tail should be able to get wet, right?
And if you'd rather make your own to fit your personal needs and style, you can do that, too.
Plenty of shops stock patterns that can be tailored to any combination of colors, shapes, and sizes.
There are mermaid tails for the whole family!
Of course, if mermaids somehow aren't your thing, there's always this cheeky variant.
Some mermaid blankets can also be pulled up higher than the waist for extra snuggling.
You can also check out Melanie's other items for sale in her Etsy shop, along with plenty of other mermaid blankets by other crafters.
