The picture isn't very good (i'm really bad at taking pictures of really small things), but I think a bunch of little jellyfish would look adorable in your x-mas tree, or you could hang them from your bag, or a window, or make one as a last minute stocking stuffer :)
When I made this one, it turned out to be approx. 4 inches/10 cm long (counting the tentacles).
Here are the instructions:
Using an F/5 crochet hook
R1- Ch2, sc 6 in second chain from hook
R2- 2 sc in each sc around (12 sts)
R3- *Sc 1, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat 6 times (18 sts)
R4- *Sc 2, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat 6 times (24 sts)
R5-10: Sc 24
Work on face - Position and attach 6 mm plastic eyes with safety backings, cut out two little circles of pink felt and sew in place for cheeks :), embroider mouth.
R11- Sc 24 through back loops only (you'll use the front loops later when crocheting the little wavy things at the bottom)
R12- *Sc 2, dec 1*, repeat 6 times (18 sts)
R13- *Sc 1, dec 1*, repeat 6 times (12 sts)
Stuff
R14- *Sk 1 sc, sc 1*, repeat 6 times (6 sts)
Bind off leaving long tail to close up the little hole, weave in loose end.
Wavy Part
Join yarn to one of the front loops you left in R11, chain 1, *4 sc in next st, sk 1 st, sl st 1*, repeat 7 times more. Bind off, weave in loose end.
Tentacles
Join yarn to the bottom part of your jellyfish (I left a long tail when joining so it would add a little more something something to the tentacles), chain 20. Bind off and leave the tail hanging if you want, or weave it in if you want a "neater" jellyfish. Repeat as many times as you want (mine has 9 tentacles, plus the 9 hanging pieces of yarn).
Please write if you have questions.
Happy crocheting!

It's adorable! I will try to make one right after I'm done with my current project :);) Thanks, Ana, for all your lovely creations, they all make me smile :)
Thank you for posting this. I am learning how to crochet, and your work is inspiring. i'm a bit confused with the 5th step when it says R5-10: sc 24.. what exactly does that mean?
hi :)
thank you sylvie, you are sooo nice, & your girls are adorable! you have the cutest family (i was nosey and looked at your blog)
jennifer: it means that in each row you'll crochet 24 simple crochet stitches, or in other words, you'll work evenly from R5 to R10, without increasing or decreasing. does that make sense?
:)
This is so cute!! I am definitely making some for my Christmas tree :) :) BTW I finished the mama Piggy and she turned out great! I put up a pic on my blog,

I haven't figured out flicker photos yet, too busy crocheting your cute things for Christmas.
Thank You so much.
CUTE! (as always) :)
let me know how it/they come out :)
I love all the patterns you have! They are all so cute! Now, I just need to learn how to crochet...
hi!! thanks for posting and share your patterns, they are sooo beautiful!, im doing the jellyfish, well im trying because i just started to learn, i just dont understand in R11: which ones are the back loops? and which ones the front loops?... sorry i speak spanish and maybe thats why i dont get it.. thanks so much
Hi! I love the pattern but I get a problem once I hit R3? I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I can only work up to 15 stitches not the 18 stated in the pattern? What on earth could I be doing wrong? Do I need to CH1 or CH2 at the beginning of each row aside from R1? Because I just go directly to *Sc 3, 2 sc in next sc*. Help would be much appreciated =)
Hi! I'm Deb and your jellyfish is beautiful!!! Sorry, but I have a problem with R3... what means "*Sc 3, 2 sc in next sc*"?? Thanks
Do you ever sell jellyfish (not just pattern) on your etsy.com store?
Hola Ana, me encanta esta medusita, estoy planeando hacer unas para mi arbol de navidad, me preguntaba si habria algun problema de que tradujera este patron al español y lo pusiera en mi blog??? por supuesto que pondría que el patron es tuyo y un link a éste blog, es que tengo algunas amigas que les encantan los amigurumis pero no saben inglés, ojalá que puedas responderme, Saludos y gracias por compartir las cosas tan hermosas que haces!

I DID IT.. kinda. It doesn't look the same, but it looks XD
Ana, my mom got me your book for my birthday last year, and now I am hooked!! (no pun intended) I can't wait to make your jellyfish since I have a fondness for owls and sea creatures. I've also made a snowy owl from your owl pattern!
Love,
Katie
I am having the same probelm with
r3. I can't get it to add up to 18. there is not enough room to repeat the sequence 6 times. Could you please help? Thank you.
I add myself to the list of people confused by R3 and R4. 5 stitches times 6 repeats does not equal 18 stitches...
I have created the jellyfish, and after being confused about r's 3 and 4 for a while, I decided to try the pattern with the following corrections:
R3- *Sc 1, 2 sc in next sc* repeat 6 times (18 sts)
R4- *Sc 2, 2 sc in next sc*, repeat 6 times (24 sts)
then continue with the pattern as directed.
The little guy turned out very well for me with these two changes!
yaseminkalewey wery nice :))
hello i just wanted to say i really liked your Amigurumi patterns :D i've only been crocheting a few days but i've had a go at this one & the cupcake. Have relised ive been doing it all in back loops? though whoops! hopefully i'll get the hang of it soon :)
Hello! Very cute! I like so much! But I have a bit problem when I get to R12. How do you *dec 1* ? And at the wavy part what do sk and sl stand for? Thank you much for this adorable pattern! I can't wait till finished! :)
What an adorable pattern! Question about the tentacles: where exactly are they coming from? The pattern says to attach to the bottom, but it looks like they're coming from inside the body. Where is everyone attaching the tentacles?
OMG! I just made one of these and it's adorable! I love it and may make some for my friends. Thanks for posting the pattern!
