R3: (sc, inc) x 6 (18)
R4: (2 sc, inc) x 6 (24)
R5: (3 sc, inc) x 6 (30)

Fasten off with a long tail for sewing the base later. Make 6 tentacles (two of each color).
Note: If you plan to make more tentacles, make sure they can all fit comfortably underneath
the base.

Do not fasten off. You will be attaching the head to the base and crocheting one more round
of “frills” around the jellyfish later in the finishing instructions. For now, insert 8 mm safety
eyes between R9-R10, 7 sts apart. If desired, sew a mouth on your jellyfish.
ASSEMBLY/FINISHING
1. Using a tapestry needle and the yarn tail from the tentacles, sew each of them one by one
onto the right side of the base. Make sure all yarn tail ends are pulled through the base.

2. Take the base and match it up with the bottom of the head, tentacles pointing outwards of
course.
3. Continuing with the unfastened-off end from the head, sl st to join the base to a st in the
head. Then, sl st around the entire jelly so that you are attaching the base to the head.
(Make sure you stuff the jellyfish before you close it up completely!) Join at the end with a sl
st to the first sl st (30)
4. Ch 2, (2 hdc in same st, sl st) around.
