Yarn
Select two shades of worsted-weight yarn. Worsted weight falls between the scale of yarn weight and can be a range of 0 (fine) to 7 (jumbo). You should be able to see "worsted" on your yarn skein. If aren't, search for an a number 3 or 4.
Yarn Needle
It is necessary to have yarn needles to attach tentacles on the body of the jellyfish. Needles for yarn are big and blunt and have large eyes to hold yarn, not sewing thread.
Stuffing
To ensure that jellyfish can maintain its shape, it'll require filling it with stuffing. You can purchase filling made of fiber from your local craft store or make use of materials that you have already, such as cotton balls or pieces of cloth. To get the best results, consider using a fibrous fiber filling which is set in its appearance even when washed by machines.
Safety Eyes
A fun and optional addition to your jellyfish the safety eyes give a new dimension to the face of your jellyfish. Cost is 2 dollars online or in any craft store.
What do you need to crochet for the Jellyfish
Step 1: Start the process of preparing the body
The following row makes every stitch bigger. It means you'll increase two single crochets each until you are at the point that you've completed the row. This way it will allow you to widen the fabric, this will let you make the spherical form of the jellyfish's head. Continue to follow your plan until you're ready to change color.
Step 2: Change Colors
Step 3: Add Details
When your jellyfish's body is complete, add the eyes. Secure the safety eyes on the back of the pieceand place the eyes approximately 10 stitches between them. The eyes are secured using safety washers that are placed on the outside and the outside.
Step 4: Close and stuff the Jellyfish Body
At this point, you will see your pattern begin to signify a succession of decreases , until you find a tiny hole at the top of your jellyfish. Utilize small quantities of fiberfill before putting it into the jellyfish. The fiberfill will start molding and creating the body when you move it. When you fill it up a bit and allowing it to go through several washes, but make sure not to fill it so full so that your eyes start to grow larger.
When the jellyfish is properly filled, keep going with the rows that are increasing until you've reached the top. Then, you can tie both ends of the yarn inside the body.
Step 5: Add Tentacles
Create a range of tentacles - Some straight and long others long and curly as with some that have the shape of spirals. You can make as many as like, with any design you'd like. Straight tentacles are straightforward, but to build spirals, crochet using sequence of stitch (e.g. Five half-double crochets) followed by one single stitch.
When your tentacles are complete Attach them to your jellyfish's body using the assistance of a thread needle.
