About
Under da sea! Under da sea!
So on a wander round an art gallery in Sheffield I ran across a Hyperbaric Coral Reef, which is basically a huge coral reef made from yarn. Total glee. And then the museum attendant told me I could add something to it and handed me a crochet hook. I could've died of happiness. Instead I whipped up this little guy. Enjoy.

Step 5Assembly
Sew all your tentacles into the centre of the body on the inside (don’t take your stitches through to the outside if you can help it). Remember to arrange them with long and short mixed up for the best result. You don’t have to just do five here, do as many as you like – go nuts!
You can leave your jellyfish like that, or add a cheeky little face with embroidery thread. These make great laptop buddies hung on the corner of your screen!
