Crocheted Mermaid Tail Blanket Transforms Anyone Into a Fantastical Creature Cozying Up at Home

Mermaid Blanket

As the leaves continue to change color and the snow inevitably starts to fall, it’s clear that TV binge-watching season is upon us. And what better way to celebrate this cold-weather season than with a warm blanket? Online shop The Burrow has crocheted a playful alternative to a rectangular covering with their cozy mermaid tail. Handcrafted with optimal-snuggling in mind, the blanket is sleeping-bag style and allows you to crawl inside of it. Once in, you’re now half human, half mermaid (or merman).

This fantasy-inspired decor is large enough to comfortably fit most adults. The “body” of the tail—where your legs go—measures about 60-inches long. So, you’ll have more than enough extra material to pull up to your chin and enjoy the occasional nap on the couch.

The mermaid tail blanket is available in a variety of colors and now for sale on Etsy.
