JESSICA THE JELLYFISH AMIGURUMI FREE PATTERN
Head
Starting from the centre of the head downwards.
R1: MR – 6 x SC into the ring {6}
R2: INC in each ST around {12}
R3: (SC in next ST, INC) x 6 {18}
R4: SC in next ST, INC, (SC in next 2 ST, INC) x 5, SC in next ST {24}
R5: (SC in next 3 ST, INC) x 6 {30}
R6: SC in next 2 ST, INC, (SC in next 4 ST, INC) x 5, SC in next 2 ST {36}
R7: (SC in next 5 ST, INC) x 6 {42}
R8: SC in next 3 ST, INC, (SC in next 6 ST, INC) x 5, SC in next 3 ST {48}
R9: (SC in next 7 ST, INC) x 6 {54}
R10: SC in next 4 ST, INC, (SC in next 8 ST, INC) x 5, SC in next 4 ST {60}
R11: (SC in next 9 ST, INC) x 6 {66}
R12-R22 (11 rounds): SC in each ST around {66} – leave your stitch marker in at the start of R17 as you will need to refer to it when placing the eyes
R23: (SC in next 9 ST, INV DEC) x 6 {60}
R24: SC in next 4 ST, INV DEC, (SC in next 8 ST, INV DEC) x 5, SC in next 4 ST {54}
R25: (SC in next 7 ST, INV DEC) x 6 {48}
R26: SC in next 3 ST, INV DEC, (SC in next 6 ST, INV DEC) x 5, SC in next 3 ST (42), do not FO and do not cut the yarn off
You can now place the eyes:
– stuff the head well first
– place eyes between rounds R17 and R18 leaving 11 stitches in between the eyes
– it helps to use pins with large heads to first mark the spots where the eyes will be placed –
you can make a decision whether you are happy with the placement and if it looks symmetrical before you insert the safety eyes; the safety eyes usually make a large hole in between the stitches so it is not recommended to change the placement of the eyes once they are in
– you can now insert the safety eyes and put the safety backs on
Belly
Starting from the centre of the belly.
R1: MR-6 x SC into the ring {6}
R2: INC in each ST around {12}
R3: (SC in next ST, INC) x 6 {18}

R5: (SC in next 3 ST, INC) x 6 {30}
R6: SC in next 2 ST, INC, (SC in next 4 ST, INC) x 5, SC in next 2 ST {36}

Make 6 (3x dark blue tentacles and 3x light blue tentacles)
R1: Chain 81 STs
R2: Start from the 2nd chain from the hook – 1xSC in each ST (80}

Assembly
How to attach the tentacles to the belly:
Step 1: Use pins with large heads to mark the spots where you would like to attach the tentacles – distribute the first 4 tentacles evenly around R3 of the belly. The remaining 6 tentacles can be attached to the increase stitches in R6 of the belly.
Step 2: Attach each tentacle individually by pulling the yarn ends through the belly.
Step 3: Tie a knot with the yarn ends on the wrong side of the belly.
Step 4: Attach all of the tentacles using the same method
How to attach the belly to the head:
R1: You will need to crochet the two parts together
– leave your hook in the last ST of R26 of the head
– slip your hook through the next ST of the head
– and then slip your hook through any ST of the belly
– so you now have two STS on the hook, SC these 2 STs together
– SC the corresponding STS of each part together all the way round {42}
R2: Change yarn to light blue colour and crochet the decorative hem – (SC in next ST, DC in next ST, 2xTC in next ST, 2xTC in next ST, DC in next ST, SC in next ST) x 7 {56}, FO and weave yarn end in.
Eye lash embroidery:
You may choose to embroider the eye lashes using white thread yarn.
Congratulations, Your crochet toy Jessica the jellyfish is ready!
