Blue Jellyfish are common in Australia (known simply as Blue Bottles there) HEAD Cast on 28sts Row 1: Knit Row 2: Knit Rows 3-12: Stocking stitch Row 13: K2tog to end (14sts) Row 14: P2tog to end (7sts) B&T TENTACLES Crochet a single chain 2.5" long. Leave a 1" tail at the beginning of it and a 5" tail at the end. Make 6 of these. MAKING UP Tentacles: Thread a 5" tail onto a tapestry needle and pass it, centre front, from the inside to the outside then inside again 2 rows above the cast-on edge of the head. Pull the tail through to its end and knot it just before the crocheted section -a single knot is sufficient. You now have two tentacles in place, a crocheted one and a thin one. Knot in the remaining 5 pieces. Result - 12 tentacles. You can space these as required, adding more or less, depending on your personal preference. Trim ends as you fancy. Eyes: Black wool - Marie-M tied 4 knots on top of each other. Mouth: Black wool - shape as illustrated. Finally, sew up the back seam of the head. |
