Once I get started working with Bernat Blanket Yarn, I can’t stop! It’s so addictive! Everything I make with this yarn works up so quickly because of it’s chunky and super soft texture. Seems like everyone these days is obsessed with crochet Jellyfish and I thought I would go ahead and jump on the jellyfish bandwagon with this Giant Jellyfish! This guy worked up in only a few hours! It’s approximately 23 inches long (counting the coils) and 9 inches wide. I used color Seafoam green from the Bernat Baby Blanket line which seems so appropriate for this sea creature! You can shop the yarn HERE at Yarnspirations.com. You will only need one skein!

Tentacles (Coils):
Chain 60, 2 SC in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down. Fasten off. Leave loose ends to tie onto underside of jellyfish.
Make as many coils as you want! I made 5 in Seafoam green and 4 in Teal.
Attach coils to bottom piece. Tie tightly and don’t worry too much about weaving ends because they will be on the inside of the jellyfish.
Attach bottom of jellyfish (make sure coils are attach first) to the jellyfish body. Using your tapestry needle and the whip stitch, sew edges of the bottom piece to the back loops of the last round of the jellyfish body.
Super cute, super soft, super big, super easy and quick to crochet! This is a great gift for all ages!!
