Ocean Friends Crochet Appliqués: Starfish, Jellyfish, Turtle, and Seahorse

I’m working on a Crochet Chevron Waves Blanket (blanket pattern coming soon!) and after crocheting just a few rows of the blanket I decided that it needed some ocean friends to hang out in the water waves! I originally was going to just make a Starfish but then I was inspired to crochet a few other fish so the Jellyfish, Turtle and Seahorse joined the gang! Below are the written patterns for 4 crochet appliqués plus video tutorials for each one! I hope you enjoy these cuties and use them for many different projects! Let me know what you make by tagging me @RepeatCrafterme on social media.

I used Bernat Super Value yarn for each of these ocean friend appliqués and I am also using Bernat super Value for the waves blanket as well. I love these pretty solid shades that coordinate so well with each other!

Starfish:
Materials:
– Bernat Super Value yarn in Pumpkin Orange (or any orange)
– Size H Crochet Hook
– 6mm Safety Eyes
– Small strand of black yarn or embroidery thread
-Tapestry needle

Finished Size = approx 6 x 6 inches

Starfish Pattern:
with Bernat Super Value in Pumpkin Orange
Magic ring, chain 1, make 10 SC in magic ring, join to first SC (10 SC)
change to color B
Round 2: Chain 1, 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next stitch, repeat around, join to first SC (15 SC)
Round 3: Chain 8, SC in second chain from hook, HDC in next 3 stitches, DC in last 3. Now you have made one of the points of the star. Skip two stitches and join with a slip stitch. Now Chain 8 and repeat process until you have all 5 points.
Round 4: SC around the edges of all 5 points. Fasten off leaving long tail
Add safety eyes and stitch on a smile!

Magic Ring, chain 2 and make 10 DC in ring, do not join, pull tight so you have a half circle. Chain 2, turn
Row 2: 2 DC in each stitch around (20 DC), do not turn
Work 10 SC along bottom edge of jelly fish and continue around making a SC along the half circle head of jellyfish, join
Now make jelly legs along bottom edge: Chain 20, slip stitch in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down, slip stitch to join to next stitch, slip stitch in next and chain 25, slip stitch in second chain from hook and the rest of the way down chain, slip stitch to join to next stitch, repeat making 3 more legs. I alternated between 20 and 25 chains to make the legs different lengths.
