Sl st in the end. Leave all yarn tails till we
finish all tentacles!

Crochet 30ch.

Now 29 sl st back. Start with 2nd loop from the
hook.

You made the first tentacle. Hurray! Make 10pc
total with 2sl st between them (tentacle, sl st,
sl st, tentacle, sl st, sl st, tentacle…) Each
tentacle starts with sl st too! It means that you

must crochet 3sl st and then 30ch tentacle.
Crochet into the front loops!

So…now you have 10 tentacles. Let’s make oral
arms (curly tentacles in the middle of the
bottom)!
Take mint yarn, find the last front loop in the
middle of the bottom.

Add yarn to the front loop and crochet 51ch.

Now start with 2nd loop from the hook and crochet
1sc, 1p, 1sc into it. Then 2sc into next loop.
Repeat these two steps till the chain’s end:
1st loop – 1sc, 1p, 1sc
2nd loop – 2sc (=inc)

You will get beautiful curly tentacle repeating
these steps.

Now crochet 4sl st into the next front loops.
Then 1sl st and 45ch tentacle with repeating sc,
p, sc and 2sc steps.
Then 10sl st into the front loops.
Then 1 sl st and 57ch tentacle with repeating sc,
p, sc and 2sc steps.
Then 1 sl st into the last front loop.
Of course you can make the tentacles and oral
arms as long as you wish!

Hide all yarn tails.

Add bottom part to the head – yarn over and pull
the yarn through the both parts and through the
loop on the hook.

Crochet 1ch and sc into the same stitch

Crochet sc around through the both parts of
jellyfish. Crochet sl st in the end into the
place where you made 1ch and 1sc. (Stuff the
jellyfish in process to make it perfectly round)

Change the color to jade and crochet 1ch and 1sc
in the same stitch where are you now.
Skip 1 loop and make 5dc shell, skip one loop
again and crochet 1sc.
Repeat around (sc, skip1, 5dc shell, skip1).
Crochet sl st in the end and hide the yarn tails.

Let’s make your jelly more interesting!
Make a bow:
Crochet into MR (pink yarn): 3ch, 4tc, 3ch, sl st
into MR, 3ch, 4tc, 3ch, sl st into MR. Pull the
yarn tightly to close the MR hole.

Use one yarn tail and wind it around the bow.
Make a knot on the back side using both yarn
tails.

Sew the bow on the head

I made a pink blush to make the jelly cuter :
