Syrinx Mermaid Doll Pattern
Syrinx the Mermaid is a minimalist. She loathes frills and excess. "Keep It Simple, Stupid," is her motto. She thinks Ariel's grotto in "The Little Mermaid," was a total atrocity. She is the unofficial designated social director of the crew; anywhere the Cult Dolls go, Syrinx plans it out to a tee.Thank you so much for supporting my amigurumi. *There is an affiliate link to where I buy the yarn for this pattern.
