FREE AMIGURUMI PATTERN: Jellyfish

PATRÓN EN ESPAÑOL

SCHEMA IN ITALIANO

Hi there!

How is your summer going? Mine is being… hot. Every summer I go visit my parents in the South of Spain, in a flat 5 minutes away from an amazing beach, but this year I will spending August between Turin and London. So no sea, sand and fresh breeze for me :(.

Anyway, I will have to settle with crocheting sea creatures with a fan blowing on my face full speed.

I will be sharing with you 3 patterns that I’m very fond of as they were 3 of my first patterns a few years ago. I created this Jellyfish for my niece Irene, which has always been very close to me.

I particularly like this amigurumi as it can be made with any color you want, even crazy colors, and it makes a great gift for anyone, from small children (it would be a really cute addition to a nursery!) to adults (what about making them in small size to hang on a purse or a rear-view mirror?).

Get your hook and yarns ready and don’t forget to stay tunned for the next patterns!

MATERIALS
– 1 yarn ball the color you like, and a small quantity of a contrasting color
– A 3.5mm hook (it will measure aprox. 16 cm), or the most fitting hook for your yarn
– 1 pair of safety eyes
– A tiny amount of felt if you want it to have cheeks
– Stuffing
– Tapestry needle and stitch marker
