Here is a free mini jellies (jellyfish) amigurumi crochet pattern as part of my Sea Life Mobile project.
With a baby on the way, I am excited to make him all the things. One of the first things I set out to make was a mobile for over his crib and changing table. Here is the fifth animal for my sea life baby mobile: a pair of jellyfish!
The jellies are designed to be anatomically correct with an outer body with legs and an inner gut with feeding tentacles.
The little jellies are made in 2 parts: the body and the tentacles.
They are stitched in Knit Picks Mighty Stitch in Wisteria and Sky, with a 4mm hook. Gauge is not important. A larger hook and thicker yarn will result in a larger amigurumi.
The jelly's body is 3 inches long and 2 inches in diameter.
Body:
Row 1: 6 sc in a magic ring.
Row 2: 2 sc in each st around. (12 sts)
Row 3: [sc, 2 sc in next st] repeat 6 times. (18 sts)
Row 4: [sc 2, 2 sc in next st] repeat 6 times. (24 sts)
Row 5: sc in each st around (24 sts)
Row 6: sc in each st around (24 sts)
Row 7a: In the back loops only: [sl st, ch 7, skip 1 ch, sl st 6 back along the ch, sl st] repeat 12 times.
Row 7b: In the front loops of the same row: [sc, sc2tog] repeat 8 times.
Tie off.
Tentacles:
Row 1: Flip the jelly inside out. Join yarn to the 2nd round and sc around (see below). (12 sts)
Row 2: sc in each st around. (12 sts)
Row 3: sc2tog 6 times. (6 sts)
Stuff lightly.
Row 4: [sc2tog, ch 16, skip 1 ch, sl st 15 back down the chain] repeat 3 times (see last image above).
Tie off.
Flip jelly right side out.
