        Hello! My mother in law is trying to make this for my newborn. I don't crochet so I'm not much help to her. She's got the ribbing and rows 1-4 of the tail done. She's unsure on how to connect into the round. Any ideas? Thank you!

          Hi Kelli! Here's how the pattern says to connect to work in the round:

          "Round 1: Fold work in half and dc into the top of the first 3ch in the previous row. This will connect the work into the round."

          So basically, you fold the tail in half, so that the first st of the previous row is sandwiched next to the last st of the previous row. Then, start working double crochet sts into the first 3 sts of the previous round.
          Does that help?

        I'm afraid you'll have to ask the designer - it's not my pattern. 🙂

      I'm working on your beautiful Infant Mermaid Tail sack, and I have one question: Am I to crochet 64 rows of ribbing or 54? The directions are for 64 rows, but when work is turned to begin the tail, it calls for 54 double crochets in the 54 rows.

      I love this!!!!!!!

        Hi Brenda! It isn't my pattern, I just linked to it - but I'll try to help as best I can! 🙂 My reading of the pattern would indicate that you work the dc sts in 54 of the rows, and leave the remaining 10 unworked. It's hard to say for sure without making it, but that's my best bet. I'm sorry I can't say for certain! I would recommend contacting the designer Kat: support@slugsontherefrigerator.com 🙂
