Description
Meet Jerry the Jellyfish. He’s squishy, smiley, slightly wiggly-looking and, most importantly, requires zero sewing.
Jerry is a beginner-friendly amigurumi project worked seamlessly in the round. His ruffled edge is crocheted directly onto the body, and those wonderfully curly tentacles are made as you go. No pile of tiny limbs waiting to be attached at the end. No sewing eight things on and wondering why the last one is somehow two inches higher than the first.
Just crochet, stuff, finish, and admire your new jellyfish friend.
Worked in DK yarn with a 3 mm hook, Jerry finishes at approximately 6.5 inches tall from the top of his head to the bottom of his tentacles. He’s a fun little project for newer crocheters, amigurumi lovers, handmade gifts, or anyone whose home could benefit from one more cheerful sea creature.

The Best Part: No Sewing
Jerry is designed to be completely seamless. The ruffle is worked directly into the front loops of the body, while the curly tentacles are crocheted as you go.
Because finishing an amigurumi project and discovering you still have a small pile of body parts to sew together is simply rude.
This listing is for a digital crochet pattern, not a finished jellyfish.
