thank you for this project you can use
any kinds of yarn with its appropriate
hook to start off let's make a magic
ring like this
and then after that insert your hook and
do the loops pull the second Loop to the
front and twist it
after that yarn over and pull through
the loop
and let's do it round one for round one
you will have to make single crochets
and to make that insert your hook into
the magic ring
pull the yarn and you will get two loops
on your hook like this and then yarn
over and pull through all two loops and
you made one single crochet for round
one you will have to make a total of six
single crochets into the magic ring
foreign
foreign
making six single crochets put the tail
and the ring will be closed so pull this
tail
and the ring will be closed like this
to start second round insert your hook
into the first single crochet that you
made in round one
so here this first single crochet insert
your hook into that Stitch
and make a single crochet pull the yarn
and then over and pull through the two
loops
and you made one single crochet
put a stitch marker on that Stitch so
you will not lose the track of round two
and for round two you will have to make
increased stitches in every Stitch to
make an increase stitch you will have to
make two single crochet together in one
stitch
so one and then the second one in the
same Stitch so you made an increase
stitch so just repeat making increased
stitches or two single crochet together
in every Stitch and when you reach the
third point you will get a total of 12
single crochets
foreign
point remove the stitch marker and
lasted the third round
make the very first single crochet in
the first Stitch
and put the stitch marker on that Stitch
again so you will not lose the track of
round three for round three you have to
make one single crochet and an increase
stitch in the next Stitch
so I made one single crochet and after
that
I will make an increase stitch now I'm
making the increase stitch two single
crochets together in the second Stitch
and repeat this pattern
so after the increase make one single
crochet in the next Stitch
and an increase stitch into the next
Stitch again
so repeat this pattern for six times
and you will get a total of 18 single
crochets
just repeat this pattern for six times
for round four you will have to make
single crochet for two times I made the
first one
and now I'll make the second single
crochet
and make an increase stitch into the
third Stitch
so for this round four you will have to
make the increase stitches in every
third Stitch
repeat the pattern of two single crochet
and the increase for six times and you
will get a total of 24 single crochets
for round five you will have to make
three single crochets and then after
that an increase stitch into the fourth
Stitch repeat this pattern for six times
and you will get a total of 30 stitches
for round six you will have to make
single crochets for four times and then
increase stitch into the fifth Stitch
repeat this pattern until you reach the
start point
and for round 7 to 12 you will have to
make just
one single crochet in each and every
Stitch
so just repeat making single crochet in
every Stitch without any increases
and when you reach the start finder will
be thirty six single crochets for one
row so repeat making
one row after another by making single
crochet in every stitches
so here you will get like this I put a
stitch marker on the first Stitch of
round seven and here seven eight nine
ten eleven twelve
so there will be 12 rows like this
and to start round 13
make four single crochets
two
three
and four and then after that let's make
the decrease stitch to make a decrease
stitch insert your hook into the next
Stitch
and pull the yarn
and then insert your hook into the next
Stitch
and pull the yarn and you will get three
loops on your hook like this yarn over
and pull through all three loops and you
made one decrease stitch
and then after that repeat this pattern
which is four single crochet and a
decrease stitch for six times and you
will get a total of 30 stitches
so here this is how I make the decrease
stitch
starting from this round we will make
the stitches in back Loop only so to
make the back glow only Stitch insert
your hook into the back Loop of the
Stitch
so normally we crochet like this but for
back Loop only we will have to insert
the hook into the back Loop of the
Stitch and make that single crochet
like this
so yeah for round 14 you will have to
make three single crochets in back Loop
only and a decrease stitch also in back
Loop so insert your hook into the first
back Loop pull the yarn insert your hook
into the next back Loop pull the yarn
and then pull through all three loops
and you made a decrease stitch in back
Loop only
so repeat making the pattern of three
single crochet and decrease
stitch in back Loop only stitches
and you will get a total of
24 stitches when you reach the start
point
so when you make the back glue only
stitches
so here you can see like these loops and
they are the front loops
because you crochet the back Loop so
only the front Loops are left outside
and we will make
like this tentacles and the ruffle of
the jellyfish in those front loops
so now let's continue the pattern for
round 15
make two single crochet and a decrease
stitch all in back Loop only and repeat
this pattern for six times
[Music]
for round 16 you will have to make one
single crochet and a decrease stitch all
in back Loop only stitches and repeat
that pattern for six times and you will
get a total of 12 stitches
after round 16 fill inside your project
with fiber fillings or maybe scorpions
and when you fill it
please fill inside a lot so your project
will be in shape if you feel just a
little it will look really wonky so yeah
for this last round which is round 17
make
that glue only decreases
for six times
if you're gonna make the octopus please
skip to the last two minutes of the
video
and if you're gonna make the jellyfish I
will show you how to make the tentacles
now
for your tentacles can you walk
and we will be walking in these front
Loops so like this these front Loops we
will crochet tentacles on that
so to start making the tentacles make 21
chains
so just yarn over and pull through yarn
over and pull through and just make
chains like that
when you finished making 21 chains skip
the first chain and make a single
crochet in the second chain repeat
making single crochet in every chain
so you will get a total of 20 single
crochets
foreign
so now you got the very first tentacle
and then after that
make slip stitches for three times on
the front loops
so here
the frenums
[Music]
insert your hook into the front Loop and
then pull the yarn and pull through and
you made one slip stitch make slip
stitches for three times
two
two and then the last one
so when you're finished making three
slip stitches
make 21 chains again and then skip the
first chain and make 20 single crochets
and then after that
make slip stitches
if you don't have enough front loops
to make slip stitches just move to
another round
if you don't have enough friend rows to
make slip stitch move to another round
by making a slip stitch
and then
make three slip stitches that you have
to follow the pattern or make the
tentacles so made eight or ten tentacles
in total by repeating three slip
stitches 21 chains and 20 single
crochets
just repeat making tentacles on those
spiral French rounds front Loop rounds
when you finished making the tentacles
let's add this rougher thing
so to make that you will have to move to
the last round of front Loops so here
this round
this is the last round of friend Loops
which is also the first row of that Loop
only pattern that you made
so we will move to that round
now my last Stitch location is on the
death row of the front Loop Round so
make a slip stitch into the second round
and then make another slip stitch into
the first or last round
and then after that we can start making
the rougher thing
to make that rougher thing chain two
and yarn over insert your hook into the
next Stitch next front Loop
and pull the yarn
yarn over and pull through two yarn over
and pull through the last two loops and
you made one double crochet
you will have to make a total of four
double crochets in that same stitch
together
so make three more double crochets
so here this is the last one and then
after that
remove your Hook from the loop and
insert your hook into the first double
crochet that you make
and here grab that
Loop and pull that Loop through the
first double crochet so you will get
like this popcorn or maybe like bubble
Stitch
after that chain one and skip
one stitch and make the bubble or
popcorn stitch in the second Stitch so
what you have to do is make four double
crochet
and then remove your hook
from the loop and insert your hook into
the first double crochet that you made
and then after that make a slip stitch
so here make a slip stitch like this
so yeah this is how you repeat the
pattern chain one and then after this
Skip One Stitch and make four double
crochet and the reverse slip stitch in
the next Stitch repeat this pattern
until you reach
the third point
so now I reach the starting point
and
to end this round I will just make a
slip stitch and do the first bubble
Stitch that I made
and then after that train one and cut
the yarn and don't forget to weave in
the ends
if you don't know how to weave in the
end just hide the tail of your project
inside the main body
so here the main body is the head of the
jellyfish so just hide it inside it and
now I will show you how to embroider the
eyes if you have the amigurumi eyes just
use them and stick those eyes
above
above the ruffle thing on the fourth
round
so here
above the rubber on the third or fourth
fourth round and make the eyes
and for the second eye make that in
three stitches apart
when you're finished sewing just hide
the Tails inside your jellyfish like
this and your project is neat and tidy
so this is how I add the blush just add
a horizontal line tiny line beside the
eyes and you want that like this
so here these are the jellyfish that I
made and now I will show you how to make
the octopus so first repeat the pattern
of the jellyfish from round 1 to 17.
now we are on the last round so to go up
you will have to make slip stitches
across the rounds like this and make
slip stitch until you reach the last
front Loop Round
so just slip stitch across like this
until you reach this first front Loop
Round
so here like this insert your hook into
the front Loop of another round and make
a slip stitch
just repeat making like this until you
reach the last front Loop Round
so now I reached the last front Loop
Round
and then turn your work chain one
and for the octopus make three double
crochet
in the second Stitch
and then two double crochet together in
the next Stitch which is the third
Stitch
and then more three double crochets
together into the fourth Stitch
so here just beside
the two double crochet stitch
and then after that remove your Hook
from the loop and insert it into the
first double crochet that you made
here this is the first double crochet
that I made and make a slip stitch
just like this
and chain one
and repeat this pattern four seven times
to make another one so Skip One Stitch
and make three double crochet together
in one stitch two double crochet
together in the next Stitch and three
double crochet together into the next
Stitch and then after that make a slip
stitch from the first double crochet
so when you finished making like this
big bubble Stitch chain one and don't
forget to skip a stitch to make another
one another bubble
so just repeat making this pattern for
seven times
so when you finished making
the pattern for seven times there will
only be two stitches left
and we don't really have enough stitches
to repeat the pattern so make four
double crochet each in those two
stitches
just make four double crochet in the
last two stitches
when you finished making four double
crochets each in the last two stitches
make a reverse slip stitch from the
first double crochet and then after that
chain one and cut the yarn
don't forget to weave in the ends and
also don't forget to embroider the eyes
if you want to use as key chain so the
key chain ring or kicking strap on top
of your project
