Hello there! It's Anna here and welcome to Little Crochet Farm. Today we will crochet together this
0:06
chunky jellyfish. Squishy, squishy! It's so good! It feels so nice. Untouch this amigurumi. I really
0:14
hope you like it. We are working here with a 5 mm crochet hook for this collection and it's a good
0:22
hook for this yarn this velvet yarn it's a bulky yarn and this yarn is actually suitable for
0:31
four to six i show you here the specifics four to six millimeters hook and depending on the
0:37
tension of your yarn you can go to a larger or a smaller hook so that you can adapt into
0:45
your stitches the five millimeters is a good option 100 meters it's a lot you won't need
0:51
all of that, you know, because this is a very easy, super fast to crochet. Now let's start it
1:03
All right, here we'll start with a magic ring or a magic circle
1:10
And if this video is too fast for you, if you need a proper tutorial only showing you how to
1:17
work the magic ring, check out the description box below. There is a video only dedicated to all the
1:23
stitches and techniques I used here in this channel, all right? And inside the magic ring
1:30
you will work six single crochet. So let's work here our first six single crochet
1:39
There is also the whale and the turtle from this collection, right? They are all chunky
1:47
very nice. One, two, three, four, five, six. All right, now let's pull this yarn and close the ring
1:54
and move on for the second round, okay? For the second round, you will work six increases. You
2:04
should have a total of 12 stitches at the end of this round, okay? So when I say
2:10
increase, that means you will crochet two single crochet inside the same stitch
2:16
okay? So we're working here the first and the second single crochet that
2:25
completes my first increase. Move on for the next stitch, my first single crochet
2:35
and the second inside the same stitch. Add the stitch marker at the beginning of
2:43
your round. I did not add my here, it's a small detail, I will count it, but for the
2:52
next ones. I will be adding that. So now you repeat this six times and once you're
2:57
done this is how it should be looking like, alright? I like to add as a stitch
3:03
marker just a piece of a different color yarn, that's enough for me and we'll move
3:09
on here for round number three. So here you will work one single crochet, one
3:17
increase, repeat six times and you should have 18 stitches at the end of the
3:21
okay so one single crochet one increase once you appreciate one increase repeat
3:27
this all the way around I show you here so this is my last stitch okay so this
3:35
is my one single crochet and this are my increase okay so you repeat this all
3:41
the way around and here I want to show you because maybe if you are used to
3:47
work with this yarn you can see it better the stitches. This is my first time working with this
3:52
yarn. Second, for the fourth round it'll work two single crochet, one increase, repeat six times and
4:01
you should have 24 stitches at the end of the round. Count how many stitches you have at the
4:07
end of each round This will help you very much Okay this is the first repetition we work here together so here we have one and two and here is my increase okay work all the way around and once
4:27
you're done this is the how you should be looking like for the fifth round you will work three single
4:34
crochet one increase repeat six times and you should have a total of 30 stitches at the end
4:39
of this round. So let's work here the first repetition together. Okay, so there
4:48
you go. One, two, three and here's the increase. Repeat all the way until the end
4:56
And this is how it should be looking like. Now we are working here our last
5:03
round with increases. So for round number six you will work four single crochet
5:08
one increase, repeat six times, and you should have 36 stitches at the end of
5:13
this round. Alright? So work here your repetitions. So this is the first one we
5:20
work together. Alright, so here we have one, two, three, four, and this is the
5:31
increase. Okay, repeat all the way around. And now we arrive here on the size that
5:36
we want. Okay, now we will work here a couple of rounds only with 36 single
5:43
crochet. So for round 7 to 11, 7-11, you will work 36 single crochet. So very
5:51
simple and easy, enjoy your rounds here, work all of the rounds and I will catch
5:57
you up at the end of round 11. Alright, so now I'm done and this is how it should
6:03
be looking like, this is very nice. You can cut this yarn here and fasten off. So we will put this
6:11
on the side for now. Here I want to show you how to fasten this off so it's like an invisible way
6:18
You skip one stitch, you introduce your yarn on the stitch next to it, and then from front to back
6:25
on the back loop of the last stitch over there, okay? So you made one stitch on top of that one
6:32
that you just jump on it when you were fastening off. So we'll just double secure this yarn here
6:41
If you have a bigger needle, that's better and it's nicer to use
6:46
I'm working with what I have. As I told you, this is the first time that I'm working with a chunky yarn
6:51
So I only have this needle here, which works fine. Okay, so this is done
6:56
Let's settle this on the side for now. For the bottom, you will repeat rounds
7:02
one to six of the head, okay? So you work all the increases here. So you have six single crochet
7:09
six increases, one single crochet, one increase, repeat all the way, two single crochets, one
7:14
increase, three single crochet, one increase, and the last one, four single crochet, one increase
7:20
and then you will reach here, and this is the side we want. Set this on the side, we won't need that
7:26
for now so just repeat there and now let's work the tentacles of this jellyfish. This jellyfish
7:34
it's super easy and very fast to crochet. Here you will work 21 chains, okay? So make 21 chains here
7:44
Okay, chain 21, the tentacles are also super easy to crochet
8:00
So once you have 21 chains, you will skip the first one and you start crocheting on
8:07
the second chain from the hook you will work 20 slip stitches okay so here you
8:18
work your 20 slip stitches and I will catch you up once you're done that's a
8:26
very easy just work your slip stitches here all right now once you're done with
8:36
the slip stitches you can cut this yarn you can leave just a little bit of tail because we will not sew We will actually just give a knot here later And like this one you will make three more with the same color of yarn that you were working
8:52
and four more with a contrast color. Okay. So on total, tada, you should have eight tentacles
8:59
Very simple. All right. And here's what we're going to do with the tentacles
9:06
All right. You take the bottom of your jellyfish, which is this one that you worked previously
9:12
and you will spread this evenly or the way that you want
9:20
And it's very easy here and simple how you will attach these tentacles
9:29
So, let's pull this to the back side here, In one stitch on the other side of the stitch you pull the other thread. Okay
9:41
Great. Now we just give a simple knot. So very easy and
9:47
Double secure your knot here and give it tight knot. Alright? Okay, that's it. You see
9:57
So easy. Okay, you don't need to cut this yarn. Let's just tighten this very nicely
10:04
You don't need to cut this yarn because this will be faced inside of the toy, alright
10:10
I'll just show you here one more time. You see, you take, you pull one yarn to the wrong side and another yarn on the stitch
10:20
next to it, like between the posts, okay? And you give a tight knot
10:31
to cut those yarn, this will be facing inside of the toy and it will help the
10:36
stuffing material. Okay? Super good! That's it! Now what we are, what I'm going to do
10:44
here, I will continue sewing, not sewing but giving a knot here, attaching this
10:50
tentacles. And once you're done, we will crochet this together with the head. So
10:58
very simple, great pattern. Okay, so these are the four ones, I will crochet the, I
11:06
will attach the other four ones and I will come back here. Okay, so all of the
11:13
tentacles now it's on place and you can see I did not cut any of my threads here
11:20
I will just leave them be. This will be great between the stuffing material later
11:27
Alright, so now what we are going to do here is that we will crochet this bottom part with the head, alright
11:35
So this is what you're going to do. Place them together with the wrong side facing each other
11:43
grab the loop from the bottom part and face the head to you, you see? You don't face the bottom to you, you face the head to you, alright
11:55
so you you are crocheting the bottom to the opposite side that you were
12:00
crocheting before this way the stitches will be facing outside it is like this
12:08
it is what it is just make sure that the head is looking at you and you will
12:14
crochet together these two pieces so you have 36 single crochet from the bottom
12:19
and you have 36 single crochet from the head right so you will crochet 36 single
12:25
crochet here all around and I will catch you up at the end. And here just one
12:32
fast thing before you crochet everything and you close this toy, you leave this
12:38
little bit open here and you add stuffing material, alright? So here is what
12:43
we need before you finish crocheting together the 36 stitches, about 30
12:48
stitches you stop, add stuffing material and then you continue, alright? I add a
12:54
good amount so I can squish it squish it I can squeeze this a lot It feels so good It great yarn great yarn I in love with this yarn And okay now I gonna finish this round my 36 single crochet and I will catch you up
13:13
for the next one. Alright, great. For the next round here we will do this pattern
13:21
that is in on the screen right now. So you skip the first stitch as I showed you
13:26
here and you work three double crochet in the same stitch. So this is my second
13:33
double crochet and the third one. Yarn over inside the loops, yarn over inside the loops
13:44
and you crochet, you join with the slip stitch on the next stitch, okay? So you
13:54
have this shape, nice shape over here. Let's crochet one more time together. So you skip one
14:00
stitch, skip this one, start crocheting on the next one, three double crochet inside the same
14:08
stitch. So yarn over inside the stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over inside the two loops, yarn over
14:14
inside the other two loops, yarn over inside the stitch, pull up a loop, yarn over inside the two
14:22
first loops, yarn over inside the loops in of your needle. This is the double
14:28
crochet. So let's work here the third double crochet and now join with the
14:35
slip stitch right over here. You see on the stitch next to it and then you have
14:41
this chung-chung. Nice! Work all the way around and I will catch you up over there
14:48
great look at this and we are almost done with this jellyfish can you believe
14:54
now you can cut this yarn here introducing to your sewing needle in your
15:00
tapestry needle and let's here hide this tail nice very nice the good about this
15:09
chunky yarn also is that it's so good to fastening off in a invisible way because
15:17
they really blend in very nice because it's so much fluffy around I think
15:23
Anyways, remember if you have a better tapestry needle this can help you a lot
15:29
I told you I'm working with what I have. This was a warm decision. I just saw this
15:37
yarn. It arrived on my local shop. I got excited and I wanted to crochet these
15:41
things to my good friends that she's having her first baby girl and I made
15:46
this collection for her. Squishy squishy. Okay, squeeze it back because you know
15:52
you're squeezing a lot of the toys so organize this yarn. Alright, that is the
15:57
back side. And now here I'll show you how I embroider the eyes. I like to embroider
16:03
the eyes of my toys. If you follow me here on YouTube channel you know that. If
16:08
you're using safety eyes, the exact location where I am sewing these eyes
16:13
here is in the written pattern in the description of this video but here I
16:19
just want to show you how I will embroider this sleepy eyes because I
16:24
call this the sleeping sea creatures which is the collection I made to this
16:29
friend of mine that I just mentioned to you and is a sleeping turtle by sleeping
16:35
whale and this sleeping jellyfish so I hope I inspired her baby girl to
16:43
slip. Okay, that's it. You see, it's a very simple way to embroider the eyes
16:51
Here I took a length of four stitches, one, two, three, four stitches and one more
16:58
for the lash, you know, at the end like this, straight line over there. And then
17:04
you secure the yarn and you're done. You're super done. Look at this. I hope
17:10
you enjoyed this pattern and I see you the next time! Bye
