Jelly

I am always looking for new things to try and I feel that I shouldn't try to make stuffed animals no more.

This one I found online through a family member. I thought I'd give it a shot.

Fasten off, but leave a long enough tail to sc around. (Probably a few feet at least).



JELLYFISH STREAMERS/TENTACLES:

I found the streamers were easiest and most fun when done freeform. All of them are a little different, but I used the same basics for each one to maintain consistency. You can check out my curly cue sampler to get an idea of what each type of curl will look like. Also, you can change up the hook size for a different look. I used a G hook for the blue jellyfish and an H hook for the purple jellyfish. On each jellyfish, there are 8 tentacles of varying width and length.

Chain either 30, 40, 50, 60 or even 70.
Work 2 (or 3) sc in each chain stitch OR work 2 (or 3) hdc in each chain stitch. If you’re starting with sc, then work into 2nd chain from hook. If you’re starting with hdc, then work into 3rd chain from hook.
Now, think of this as a Choose Your Own Crochet Adventure. Continue working sc or hdc, working 2 or 3 stitches into each chain across, then fasten off, leaving a tail.

Here is what mine looks like

I did chain 30 for the tails. Four of them I did two rows and four I did one row. Still they curled if the four that didn't with one row I would of done another.
