Jellyfish Kawaii

 Jellyfish Kawaii


I’m in love with my “Jellyfish Kawaii.”  It is SO cute and best of all it was so easy and quick to make!!!

Materials: 
I used Mainstays Yarn in Purple and a 5.0mm hook. The eyes are 15mm. A little black yarn or embroidery thread for the mouth and eyelashes. Polyfil to stuff. Tapestry needle to weave ends. 

Note:  I used a stitch marker to keep track of the first stitch of each round. I did not slip stitch join the rounds, unless noted. 

U.S. Stitch Abbreviations:
Ch:  chain
Sl st:  slip stitch
St:  stitch
SC:  single crochet
HDC:  half double crochet 
MR:  magic ring 
Rep:  repeat 
FO:  fasten off 

Directions:
1.  8 HDC into MR.  (8)
2.  2 HDC in each st around. (16)
3.  2 HDC in first st, 1 HDC in next st. Rep around. (24)
4.  2 HDC in first st, 1 HDC in next 2 st. Rep around. (32)
5.  2 HDC in first st, 1 HDC in next 3 st. Rep around. (40)
6.  2 HDC in first st, 1 HDC in next 4 st. Rep around. (48)
7-13.  1 HDC in each st around. (48)
14.  1 HDC in each st around. Sl st join to first st and FO. Weave ends. (48)

1.  Place eyes at Round 10, 5 spaces between them.
2.  Embroider mouth and eyelashes. 
3.  Stuff with Polyfil. 

Bottom Base:
Rep steps 1-6 above. Now place on top of Polyfil and Sl st Round 6 of the base to Round 14 of the body. Sl st join to the first st. FO and weave ends. 

Tentacles (make 5):
1.  Ch41.  Place 2 SC in 2nd ch from hook and into each remain ch.  FO and leave a long enough tail to attach to the center bottom. (80)


And, using a smaller hook size (3.0mm), I made a Patriotic Jellyfish Kawaii...



For my colorful jellyfish, I used the same pattern with a 3.0mm hook….



Happy Crocheting...

    1. Hi, Cindi. I’m going to add them today. I’ve been so busy lately designing patterns that I’ve gotten a tad lazy at adding them to my blog. But, I will get this one added today.

  2. Adorable!! I'm having a prob with the base, tho. Is it supposed to be flat?? Because mine isn't even close. I am using Just Chenille yarn with an I hook, so maybe that is the reason?? Thanks in advance.

  3. Yes, the base will be flat, round and then attached to the bottom. You can Slip stitch or whip stitch to attach. Thanks for asking. I hope my answer has helped you.
