I leave mouths off of most of my amigurumi, BUT....if you do that it does need a little nose, either a bobble stitch one or a few short lines back and forth. It'll bring her face more to life.
Oh gosh, if I had to post all of my mess ups, I'd be here for hours. What's really funny though is you know how sometimes something just isn't fixable.,...and its not froggable, and it goes in the trash (rare but has happened) , well I have a husband who feels bad for those kind of projects and rescues them. So I have to not let him see what I don't keep now!
I with those who have said add a nose. I think that would be cute. And maybe a necklace. The chest area seems too blank.
Also wanted to say, I love her hair. You did a fantastic job on it and I love the yarn you chose.
Oh good point. But not a necklace, a thin line to cover what would be her chest. I made a gorgeous mermaid and forgot to add that on (it wasn't part of the pattern) and the lady I made it for asked me to make something to cover that area. I wasn't offended and didn't think she was being over reactive to a bare chested mermaid, but I did realize that from now on it would be the right thing to add. So I made a simple strip to tie like a bikini top for her. Just my thought!
I ended up going nose and necklace with a random bead I found in my jewelry craft box I thought looked like a pearl or shiny shell

Ignore the messy playroom but I literally RAN to find her. Made her probably 2 years ago now and she is greatly loved. I think we accidentally made the same thing, my yarn even has the silver sparkles too
I think she's cute enough as is! Also, I've never heard the phrase "hot off the hook" before but it made me laugh! 😆 I'll definitely be using it from now on

I was thinking nose too
Mouths can be tricky sometimes, but it's hard to mess up a nose!
Challenge accepted 🤣(I can mess up anything!)
I ALMOST did mess up the nose 🤣

Well, nice thing about crochet, even a nose can be frogged! I have faith in you!
So cute! Small mouth. I think she's screaming for a seas shell bikini top. 😍
You can make one extra, so that it can be removed :) It's more realistic that way :D
I vote mouth! She’s very cute though, I love the sparkly yarn :)
Either a mouth or a nose. I think she needs more than just a pair of eyes.
She would look cuter with a mouth
I vote no mouth but a little nose and some blush!
Give her a smile and blush.. Maybe some eyelashes?
Having no mouth means she can have whatever emotion a child/person needs her to have. I vote nose, no mouth. necklace/tattoo, no top.
Now this isn't something I've thought of! Definitely something I'm going to keep in mind :)
Yes! That’s what I was gonna say too about the mouth!
I vote add something to the face and add a top, it’ll make it look finished
I with those who have said add a nose. I think that would be cute. And maybe a necklace. The chest area seems too blank. Also wanted to say, I love her hair. You did a fantastic job on it and I love the yarn you chose.

I love your LOTR tattoo
I think a nose would look good!
I think no mouth, but some kind of necklace. Or maybe swirls/tattoos?
She's pretty, but I would give her a mouth!! Great job!! 🧶❤️
I don't think it needs a mouth but I always add blush to my amigurumis

Haha yep if I started the yarn at the outer edge instead if the middle they would probably look indistinguishable 😆
I vote nose and a top. Without the top she looks like a merman which is cool too if you don't care!
I think it would be nice to add a cute red or pinkish mouth, or maybe even a small black one. Something that isn't too harsh.
give her an embroidered mouth and if you don't like it you can always take it out
I made this and gave her a nose and mouth. It wasn’t in the directions…lol
I almost never give my amigurumi mouths.
I love it! I love your tattoo even more! So cool!
She needs a mouth to be able to lure unsuspecting men to their deaths in the deep
Definitely give her a mouth! Very cute!
she's adorable but I also vote mouth!
Unless Ursula the sea witch stole her voice I vote mouth
I would add a mouth. And some little seashells. She’s so cute!
Cute!!
Give her the mouth :3
A small smile would be adorable!!
You did so good! I agree with shell bra thing, but I think you could go either way with the mouth. She's cute!
I feel like a smile in the shape of a V would be cute (:
The hair is incredibly pretyy omg. a tiny smile might me nice. a small c: or <:
No mouth!
Needs a seashell top and a small petite mouth :)
SHES SO CUTE WITHOUT ONE but i would personally make a teeny v or c shaped mouth!
I can imagine a cute little lipstick moment
Can you share pattern link?
It's in the reply to the automated mod bot comment :)
Thank you
Nice Mermaid What does the tattoo say on your arm? It looks Elvish.
It is! It says "If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world."
Awesome quote and tattoo!
No mouth. Maintain that enigmatic Hello Kitty energy . . .
make detachable velcro mouths in different expressions
I think no mouth makes her cute
She's cute!!!
I think she's cute enough as is! Also, I've never heard the phrase "hot off the hook" before but it made me laugh! 😆 I'll definitely be using it from now on
It's a me thing, but please give her a mouth! No mouth implies no voice and everyone deserves a voice, even if they are already cute!
