It’s March! Which means we are ready for the third square in our Under the Sea Crochet-Along! This jellyfish is so easy to crochet but the tedious part is stitching those tentacles onto the bubble square. Take your time, it will be worth it!
Not sure what this crochet-along is all about?
Let me introduce you to the FREE 2024 Under the Sea Crochet-Along!
Over the next 12 months I will be crocheting 12 adorable ocean creature that will fit on a crochet square that looks like a water bubble. At the end of the year I will stitch them all together to make a blanket!
There will be a few bonus patterns as well!
You can get started on crocheting all 12 of your water bubble squares now. Get the Circle in a Square Water Bubble pattern HERE.

Row 7: SC along bottom edge, chain 1, turn (20 SC)
Row 8: skip a stitch, 6 DC in next (first scallop made), skip 2 stitches, slip stitch in next, repeat to make 4 scallops along bottom edge.
Fasten off leaving long tail.
With a strand of black yarn and your tapestry needle, create a smile in the middle of row 1 of the head.
Tentacles (make 5):
Feel free to use aruba sea or jade blue yarn (or combo of both!)
Chain 26, SC in 3rd chain from hook and the rest of the way up chain, fasten off leaving long tail.
curve the tentacles in different directions as you stitch them on underneath the head.
Crochet Cartoon Eyes Pattern – 1 inch eyes (Make 2):
Using a size G or F crochet hook
starting with black yarn
Magic Ring, chain 1 and make 6 SC in ring, pull tight, (6 SC)
join to first SC with jade color yarn
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around, join to first SC with white yarn (12 SC)
Round 3: SC in each stitch around, join, fasten off leaving long strand of white. (12 SC)
Weave in all other loose ends.
With a strand of white yarn and your tapestry needle, create an eye reflection/sparkle by weaving the yarn through two stitches of the corner of the black pupil. I looped the yarn 2 times and then knotted it on the backside.
Stitch eyes on either side of the mouth.
My Crochet Cartoon Eyes is the pattern that keeps on giving! I have used them for so many different projects and they come in two sizes! >>> See the full Cartoon Eyes tutorial HERE <<<
Stitch the top of the head down to your bubble square, leave the scallops loose so you can stitch down the tentacles underneath the head before securing it.
If you want the backside of your bubble square to look clean, work your tapestry needle in-between the stitches on your bubble square so your sewing doesn’t show through on the other side. I will be adding the appliqués of all the sea creatures to the front and back of each square so my blanket will be reversible.
Curl and curl those tentacles as you stitch them down to make them wavy.
It’s never too late to dive into the Under the Sea CAL!
