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.

The Essentials: Hook: 3.5mm (E). Wool: Any. Also needed: Black embroidery thread (option if you want to add a face) Terms: CH = Chain SC = Single Crochet INC = Increase
Body Magic ring/ Ch2 Round 1: 6sc into centre of magic ring/ 2nd chain from hook [6] Round 2: INC around [12] Round 3: {1sc, INC} around [18] Round 4: {2sc, INC} around [24] Round 5: {3sc, INC} around [30] Round 6 – 8: Sc around [30] Finishing off and weave in the tail.
Short Tentacles (make 3) Ch 21 20 Sc starting in 2nd chain from hook Finish off a leave long tail for sewing
Long Tentacles (make 2) Ch 31 30 Sc starting in 2nd chain from hook Finish off a leave long tail for sewing Don’t worry about curling the tentacles – it’ll happen naturally from about the 5th sc.
Assembly 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!
