Materials Needed

• Yarn: Fingering weight yarn in neon blue, neon green, and white
• Crochet Hook: 2.5mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 24 single crochet (sc) x 28 rows = 4 inches
• Scissors: For cutting yarn
• Tapestry Needle: For weaving in ends

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Start with a Magic Ring:
   • Hold the yarn in a loop, leaving a tail of about 6 inches. Insert your hook into the loop, yarn over, and pull up a loop.
   • Yarn over again and pull through both loops on your hook to create a slip knot.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochet (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail to tighten the ring.
3. Round 2: Increase in each stitch around (12 stitches total). To increase, work 2 sc in the same stitch.
4. Round 3: (Sc in the next stitch, inc) around (18 stitches total).
5. Round 4: (Sc in the next 2 stitches, inc) around (24 stitches total).
6. Continue Increasing: Repeat the increase pattern until you reach 48 stitches. The pattern will be:
   • (Sc in the next 3 stitches, inc)
   • (Sc in the next 4 stitches, inc)
   • Continue until you have 48 stitches.
7. Work Even: For the next 5 rounds, work 1 sc in each stitch around without increasing.
8. Form the Bell's Edge: To create the ruffled edge, work (sc, ch 3, sc) in each stitch around. This will give the jellyfish a delicate, picot edge.
9. Create the Tendrils:
   • Attach the neon green or white yarn to the edge of the bell.
   • Chain 30 stitches.
   • Slip stitch back along the chain to create a wavy tendril.
   • Repeat this process around the edge of the bell to create multiple tendrils.
10. Finishing Touches: Weave in any loose ends using a tapestry needle. Ensure all yarn tails are secured to prevent unraveling.
