Author's Note:  Tomorrow is the big day!  2021 12 Days of Christmas begins!  But before the big day, we wanted to share three more free tutorials from 12 Days past!  This mermaid stocking was originally published in 2017

It's the Third Day of Christmas at CKC and today for our FREE pattern we have something a little magical for you! There's no doubt that lots of little girls (of all ages) are going to flip for this one!

Eek! So amazing! Our Mermaid Tail Stocking is perfect for all the underwater folk in your life! You can sew it up with no trouble at all using our free PDF instructions with photos, and then hang it right there on the fireplace with the rest of your stockings! Our designer Steph is nothing short of a creative genius!

One of the things I love about this stocking is that you can choose your favorite fabrics to match the personality its owner. Does your little girl like glitter, sequins, sparkles? Go for it! Or is she more the camouflage type? Why not?! There's no doubt even some boys would love a mer-man tail stocking if you do it in fabrics they like.

The design includes a sturdy loop for hanging the stockings as well. Aren't they awesome together? This photo also shows the size really well. Lots of room inside for the good stuff!

And for the tiny members of your family...

Our pattern also includes a doll-sized stocking! How perfectly adorable is that?!

I can only imagine how cute this would look hanging up with a teddy bear poking out of it on Christmas morning. How about you? Are you ready to get started?
