Happy Jellyfish Keyring Pattern
Eek! An exciting (and somewhat nerve-wracking) step forward
has happened to me today – I have put my first crochet pattern up for sale!
My happy little jellyfish keyrings have been super popular
and so I decided, after months of talking about it, to actually publish the
pattern for them so you can make your own!
The pattern comes with permission to sell your items as I
have found there is nothing more frustrating than finding a pattern you love,
only to see it has got strict guidelines about NOT selling your finished items.
The pattern is for sale either on my website (here) Etsy (here) or Ravelry
(here) and I have published both UK and USA terminology versions so hopefully everyone
is covered.
If you have any questions or need additional help, feel free
to drop me a message – the fastest way to get me is probably via my Facebook Page.
I’d love to see any happy jellies you make :D
Happy Crocheting!

Crochet jellyfish FREE PATTERN
Last August, Tonia from The Periwinkle Knitting Cafe asked
me to design a couple of crochet patterns for her Sea Life Bunting
Project. She wanted a simple beginner’s
pattern and a slightly more advanced one so of course; I opted for the simplest
of all creatures for my beginner’s pattern: the jellyfish! (I also wrote a Starfish pattern which I will upload at some point soon!)
The patterns were sold in her shop until October as little
packs and then all the completed sea creatures were donated back to Tonia who
duly strung them into bunting which she in turn donated back to the town. The
bunting is now in the hands of the local council and will be used for local
events in Ilfracombe!
Since the project is now over, and because I have been
utterly crap at posting this sooner, I thought I would grab a moment to post
the jellyfish pattern here for free!
Your jellyfish can be made from any scraps of yarn you have
lying about and, as it is made using double
crochets (or if you speak in uk terms= treble crochets) it works up very
quickly indeed.
I used dk yarn and a 4mm hook and my jellyfish worked up to
be approximately 6 inches wide at the dome when folded flat and the tendrils
were approx. 9 – 10 inches long … ISH haha jellyfish are tricky to measure!
Right – ON TO THE PATTERN!
