Amigurumi Jellyfish
I used an F hook (3.75mm), Lily's Sugar'n Cream yarn, a stitch marker, a tapestry needle, stuffing, and 3mm safety eyes. If you use a different yarn you may end up using a different size hook. I used an E hook when I used Caron Simply Soft.

Insert safety eyes and embroider a smile with black yarn.
Thread the tentacles through the right side of the jellyfish bottom (the side that will remain visible), knotting them securely on the wrong side (the part that will not become visible). Cut a few pieces of both yarn A and B (I did 4 of each) and knot the bottom so that they do not unravel. Thread them from the right side and slide your needle through the knots made from your tentacles.
Using the long tail from the bottom piece, sew the bottom to the body, stitching it to the row just above the waves. Stuff the body firmly just before you finish sewing. Finish sewing and knot the end to ensure it does not come undone, hide the knot and the rest of the yarn inside the body.Any questions or comments can me emailed to plumcakepudding@gmail.com

This is so cute! I am going to make these for my kids for their easter baskets!!
This is SUCH a cute pattern! I made it with a ribbon type material for these two little girls....Turned out soo cute~
Greetings from Sweden :) Thank you very much for putting this pattern up for free ^-^ Usually I find my patterns in expensive books that i've bought (I believe in supported talented crafters :), but I am very grateful for people like you who decides to share their work like this. If I ever get good enough to crochet something from scratch I will most def repay the favor and share with the world. Thanks again! Can't wait for my jellyfish to be finished!!
Cute! I like the ribbon idea also (for the tentacles).
