Assembly:

Using a yarn needle and the long tail on the curly tentacles, attach them around Round 1 of the belly. Trim any excess yarn.

Using the tails on the skinny tentacles, attach them evenly spaced around the curly tentacles in between Rounds 3 and 4 of the belly.

Trim any excess yarn.

Add stuffing to the bell. Using a yarn needle and the long tail on the belly, stitch the belly onto the bell using the inside stitches from Round 9 of the bell. Add any additional stuffing right before finishing the attachment. Tie off and trim any excess yarn.

And here we have an adorable Crochet Mini Jellyfish! Feel free to get creative with the colors, the face, and the bag charm variations. These little ocean critters are perfect as rear-view mirror car hangers, backpack buddies, or ornaments.

Bag Charm/Keychain/Ornament Option:

Using the yarn color of your choice,

Place a slip knot on your hook and join on the back side of Round 1 with a slip stitch.

Chain 40

Slip stitch again into the stitch where you began.

Chain 1, tie off and weave in the ends.

You can adjust the size of the hanger by increasing or decreasing the chain stitches.
