The crochet ragdoll sea pattern is very beginner friendly and you just have to know the basics of crochet to make one. There is also no decreases in this pattern! I also think this would be a nice welcome to the world gift for a newborn! But if you want to make it for a baby or a toddler, be sure to make it ultra safe so the parts won't fall off!

This is such a fast, easy and fun pattern and I am so excited to share it with you! The crochet jellyfish is made with two separate panels, like the popular ragdoll lamb pattern that I've made last year. If you are looking for more crochet ragdoll patterns, check out my koala bear and these cute chicks! 

The body is made with single crochet and the tentacles are made with half double crochet. I used big safety eyes to add a little extra cuteness to the jellyfish. Also the crochet ragdoll pattern has many pictures to help explain the various steps.

Isn't this a cute jellyfish family?

The smaller one was crocheted with thinner yarn and a 3mm crochet hook. I made his tentacles a little longer. You can find the details in the pattern.

This one is made without a skirt, You can choose and variate with yours to make your individual.

Information

Skill level: Beginner

The pattern is written in US terms. The jellyfish consists of two separate panels. The tentacles are made in rows. All the parts are being crocheted with a 4,5mm/7 crochet hook. Finished size: 23x11 cm/ 9x 4.3inches. If you use a size 3 mm and yarn to match, your jellyfish will be approx. 7.5x5 cm/2.9x1.9 inches. Remember to use smaller safety eyes if you are using a different yarn. My tester made one with Catania, color 385. Hook 3.0 and safety-eyes of 4mm.

Assembly

Fasten safety eyes between rows 8 and 9. Leave 5-6 sc space between the eyes.

Sew on the mouth just below the eyes and sew on eyebrows if wanted.

Lay the panels on each other and crochet them together with single crochet.

Crochet all the way around. Don’t forget to stuff before you close.

Sl st in the first stitch and fasten off. Weave in ends.

If you want to, you can crochet in a skirt. Crochet the skirt on after you have crocheted the 2 panels together. Fasten yarn in the main color on the bottom of the jellyfish in the left corner. Chain 3. 3 dc in the same stitch, * sl st in next 2 stitches, 4 dc in next stitch *repeat 4 more times. Fasten with a slip stitch in the next sc at the side. Fasten off and weave in ends.

Fasten the tentacles. Try to hide the white yarn (or the other color of choice) by sewing over with the main color.

Make sure that everything is well sewn on so the tentacles don’t fall off!
