[Little Bippy Series] Leggy Jellyfish - Free Pattern

-

 


Every time I see a jellyfish, I think about how cute they'd be sitting on a shelf with their tentacles hanging off like little legs, so I decided to make my dream a reality! This pattern has no colour changes, and only uses basic stitches, so it shouldn't be too big of a challenge for someone relatively new to amigurumi.


Title of Pattern

  • Yarn (I used Loops & Threads Soft Classic, weight 4)
  • Hook size (I used 4.5mm)
  • Safety eyes (optional)
  • Tapestry needle
  • Stuffing
  • Stitch marker
  • Scissors

 

Abbreviations (US terms)

  • ch - chain
  • sc - single crochet
  • inc - increase
  • dec - decrease
  • hdc - half double crochet
  • dc - double crochet
  • tc - triple crochet
  • ss - slip stitch
  • FLO - front loops only
  • BLO - back loops only
  • mc - magic circle
  • (...) - repeat the part in parenthesis specified number of time
  • (#) - number of stitches after finishing the round

 

Finished Size

2.5" across the bell x 5 inches long (including tentacles). May be different for everyone based on yarn thickness, hook size, and tension.

 Bell Skirt

Attach yarn on the side opposite the eyes using the front loops from round 12.
(Sc, [3 hdc in same stitch], sc) x10, then ss into first stitch of the round to join

Main Tentacles (make 3)

In dark green
Ch 31
Starting from 2nd chain from hook, inc in each stitch along. 

Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.

Secondary Tentacles (make 3)

In yellow

Starting from 2nd chain from the hook, sc in each stitch along.

Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.

Legs (make 2)

Chain 15

Fasten off and leave a tail for sewing.



Attaching Parts

Sew the legs to the bottom of the bell, positioned slightly more toward the front side (where the eyes are).


 

Add the tentacles wherever feels right to you! I clustered mine more toward the back so they wouldn't cover up the legs too much, but you can put them wherever you want!

Raccoons are one of the cutest North American animals, in my opinion! This raccoon pattern has a lot of colour changes for the head part, so it can be a little tricky to manage.
