    Keyringholder

     

    Work with orange yarn.

    Rnd 1: ch 30   

     


     

    Leave a small thread at each end of the chain to fasten the chain. Pull the chain through the second and fourth eyes of the first row of the head. Tie the two ends of the chain and the starting thread of the bottom of the body.  

     



    Assembly 

    1. Put head and bottom part together, stuff it and sew it together.

     


     

    2. Crochet 2 dc in all stitches of the last row of the head. Finish with sl st and hide the end.

     


     

    3. Make tentacles. You can use different colours. For example, I used yellow, orange, and red.

    "A" type of tentacles

    Join tentacles on the bottom part. Insert your hook under one of the stitches and grab the yarn. Draw up a loop. Yarn over and draw through the loop on the hook.

    Row 1: Chain either 21 or 26 or 31 ch. Turn and work on the secon row from 2 ch from hook

    Row 2: (inc) repeat 20 or 25 or 30 times. 

    Join tentacle with the bottom with sl st, tigh a knot and hide the yarn end by stuffing it inside the body.

     



    "B" type of tentacles

    Join tentacles on the bottom part. Insert your hook under one of the stitches and grab the yarn. Draw up a loop. Yarn over and draw through the loop on the hook.

    Row 1: Chain either 21 or 26 or 31 ch. Turn and work on the secon row from 2 ch from hook

    Row 2: sl st in all 20 or 25 or 30 st

    Join tentacle with the bottom with sl st, tigh a knot and hide the yarn end by stuffing it inside the body.

     

     

    Make more tentacles. I made 9 "A" type and 6 "B" type tentacles.

    4. Place the key ring on the crochet chain. 


    5. Finally, make the mouth and eyebrows with black thread. Make your jellyfish unique.  


    We're done. It wasn't hard, was it ?
