Yarn
Pick two colors of worsted-weight yarn. Worsted weight falls at the middle of the weight scale for yarn, which ranges between 0 (fine) up seven (jumbo). It is likely to see "worsted" in the skein of yarn; if you don't, look at an indeterminate number like three or four.
Yarn Needle
The needle for knitting the tentacles to the body of the jellyfish. Knitting needles are large, with a sharp edge, and big eyes that hold yarn, rather than thread for sewing.
Stuffing
In order for jellyfish to keep its shape, you'll need to stuff it with stuffing. It is possible to purchase fiberfill stuffing from your local craft shop or make use of materials you already have--like cotton balls or scraps of fabric. For best results make sure to try the cluster-style fiber stuffing that will not lose its shape following wash in the machine.
Eyes for Safety
Fun and a fun option to your jellyfish's eyes give a different look to your jellyfish's face. The cost is just two dollars online or at any craft store.
How do you crochet the Jellyfish
First Step: Start to Work the The Body
The following row will add each stitch. This means you'll be adding 2 single crochets for each stitch until you get to the point where you have reached the end of the row. This can help increase the length of your fabric and let you create the shape of the jellyfish's head. Follow your pattern till you are ready to switch colors.
Step 2: Change Colors
Step 3: Add Details
After the jellyfish's body has been created, attach the eyes. Add safety eyes to the surface of the fabric space the eyes around 10 stitches between them. Secure the eyes with security washers, which are placed in the outer part of the material.
Step 4: Complete and complete the Jellyfish Body
When you reach this point the pattern is likely to indicate a series of decreases , until there is a tiny hole at the bottom of the jellyfish. Form small clumps out of fiberfill, then stuff them inside the jellyfish. The jellyfish will start to mold and shaping the body as you go. By stuffing it a bit and allowing it to endure many washes. But, be careful not to fill it to the point and your eyes will begin to appear larger.
After the jellyfish has been stuffed in a proper way, you can continue weaving rows of decreasing lengths and close the top. After that, secure the yarn's ends into the body.
Step 5: Attach Tentacles
Finally, create a variety of tentacles: ones that are straight and long and thick, some wavy and thick with an in-circling spiral. Create as many as you'd likein the style you'd are comfortable with. Straight tentacles are simple, however to construct an arc, crochet using the sequence of crochets (e.g. 5 half-double crochets) and then finish with one single stitch.
After your tentacles are completed put them on the body of the jellyfish using a yarn needle.
