I’ve had so much feedback over the years and so many of you wanted a video. I hope that this video will answer all your questions and helps you to create your own beautiful mermaid blankets! The original pattern will give you a thick, heavy and warm blanket. Our Budget friendly version will make a lighter and slightly smaller blanket.
The video will show you how to fold your blanket up into a cute little pillow. Place on your chair, couch or bed for easy storage.
