Why Crochet a Giant Jellyfish?

This handmade sea creature will serve perfectly as playful room décor or nursery mobile. What’s more, it’s sure to become a wonderful gift for all ocean lovers – young or old!
Materials You’ll Need for This Oversized Toy
This crochet jellyfish toy owes its large size and soft, squishy texture to Bernat Baby Blanket Yarn in super bulky weight. Pair it with a 5.50 mm crochet hook to get your tension right and make sure that the yarn doesn’t slip off while you are crocheting.
The designer used just one 300g skein in Seafoam Green colorway to complete this project. To add some visual interest to your toy, be sure to use at least two different shades for the coils.
You will also need stuffing, 18 mm safety eyes, and a small bit of black worsted-weight yarn.
Step-by-Step Tips for a Smooth Project
You will create your jellyfish amigurumi by working this pattern in the round with single crochet and double crochet stitches. Prepare also to do a little bit of increasing and decreasing to get the right shape for your project.
First, you will crochet the toy’s head and then the bottom of the jellyfish body, to which you’re going to attach the coils. Once all pieces are done, you will sew on the bottom part with coils to the head.
An experienced crocheter is sure to complete this crochet piece in only a few hours. Don’t hesitate to give it a try!
