You should try to make just the head of it then make a Magic ring with 8 sc in it then in the first stich chain 20 then in the second one from your hook do 3 hdc in each 20 sc then when u get back to the magic ring sc in the next stich and then ch 20 and repeat then u will have a octopus and sew the legs and the head together
@@sp333ddybae you can just search beginners crochet in youtube there are lots, its better to have your materials while watching it so you can work on it while watching. There are easy crochet like making simple flower shape or heart. Goodluck on making those gifts for your family 😊
Fourth thing that I've ever crocheted, took me hours. He is tiny and perfectly imperfect. My hands hurt. 10/10 would recommend. Great instructional video.
Ahhh well done! I'm working on my first cuddly character at the moment. He's got holes in and I'm not sure I'm doing the legs right but I'm learning as I go and enjoying it! Reading the patterns is like learning a language!!
Ive been watching you for the longest time now and i remember when this video first came out, i immediately started making it. This was my first crochet project, and i made a whole army of big, medium, and small jellys, and i gave everyone of them to my grandma. She always asked for different themes of jellyfish like a bee jellyfish or confetti jellyfish. Sadly, she passed away 2 years ago, and before they buried her, i put a jellyfish with her before i said goodbye. I love this pattern so much, and i love you. Thank you❤❤
What a genuinely lovely story to hear - I'm so sorry for your loss, I hope you make yourself a little jelly to keep in memory of your lovely supportive grandma x
Finding your jelly tutorial was so timely for me. I have stage 4 cancer and friends have been dropping off soups and teas and helping out in so many ways. I’ve always wanted to make something personal to thank them. We live on a small island at the coast and these will make perfect thank you gifts for all my dear friends. I may make keychains for some and just an ornament loop for others. Either way your tutorials are so clear and precise - the best I’ve ever come across. I’m a beginner and I can do this!!Thank you Robin!!❤
My art teacher is making us do a project called "50 variations," so I was sooo excited to find this video for my 15th variation of a jellyfish! And thank you for your helpful tutorial about the magic ring. (:(:(:(:(:
I saw this in my recommended, and I genuinely screeched and started muttering about how I need one. I'm lucky I'm in my room, otherwise who knows what my family would've thought.
4:20 hers: a nice circle mine: a giant knot Edit 1: I tried again and messed up but i actually understand how i messed up this time Edit 2: I decided to do a jellyfish tutorial for beginners because i was l o s t in this
It's the best tutorial you will get the first tutorial I did before this was so bad that RU-vid didn't even explain properly this is the best you can have !
The way I'm smiling at my little jellyfish. This is my first completed crochet project and I am in love. Storm of crochet keyring jellies incoming! It took me a little more than an hour. I can't even. Thank you Robin!!!❤🎉
I just wanted to come back to this video and tell you that this was the first crochet project I was able to successfully complete. I tried to learn how to crochet like 5 times over the past couple years from RU-vid videos and I’d just got lost and frustrated every time. I was so proud of how this project came out so thanks for restoring my confidence! You’re a great teacher. Now I’m making all kinds of things and can follow pretty much any video and most written patterns!🥰
My 9 year old son brought me a ball of ricorumi green cotton and showed me your youtube. 40 minutes later hes taking Jango the Jelly fish up to bed to add to his sealife collection! Thank you for posting, it was a joy to make.
I've made 3 of these now. It takes me WAY longer than 20 minutes, but I'm still a beginner and each one looks better than the last. I use a different color for the tentacles. I kind of like the contrast and it still looks good with the two in the middle.
i'm a beginner too haha it took me more than 20 minutes (honestly probably more than an hour) just to work out how to get the first six stitches on the magic loop thing, but once i got started it all came along pretty well, even if it took me a lot longer! Also different colour tentacles! What a great idea!!
@@palmtree1958 I used to make little things a lot and I stopped for years. The magic ring is ALWAYS the hardest part. I'm also left handed so when I try to follow a right handers way I get confused lol.
So this became a family event. Up until very recently I've only crocheted (badly mostly) blankets as I learned from youtube. I can't read a pattern for love nor money. My husband always takes an interest in my crafts and decided he wanted to try crochet (something about it was the only way he'd get to spend time with me). Turnd out chaining is the only thing he can do (our 8 year old daughter had to get in on it also). So I did the body and my husband and daughter did the tentacles and my husband put it all together. Thank you for making a fun and easy to follow project the entire family got in on.
I started crocheting roughly a year ago, and this lil guy was my first ever amigurumi. I wrestled with the yarn for roughly three hours but I got him done in the end and I was so excited. Today I came back to this video to make another one for a friend of mine, and I finished in 30 minutes! I'm proud of my progress, and it was thanks to your amazing tutorials that I managed to stay motivated when I was first starting out, so thank you :D
Slip knot: If you wrap your hook back to front twice (yarn over twice) and hold onto both tails, pull the back loop off over the second loop and it creates a twist under the hook. Then wrap another yarn over on the hook and pull the new back loop over the new loop. Now you have a slip knot! The magic ring is harder to remember Wrap your wrong index finger the wrong way around twice and hold tail tight. Insert hook under first loop and pull the second loop up. Now yarn over and pull the first loop over and off. Then you can just start working your single crochets into the whole. You stop thinking about it after you've done it enough times. Don't over think it. Try a different video every time until one clicks and sticks in your memory. For me that's the above examples. Good luck!
I’m so excited I was still able to find this yarn on Amazon from a seller in the UK! Shipped super fast here to the states, price was great too. 6 skeins for about 26 bucks. 🤗
I did it today , it took me two hours and 30 minutes 😅 , but it turned out so lovely , I made it with black yarn and pink pearl eyes , Thank you for the amazing tutorial 💗
Absolutely LOVE your tutorial. I'm a total beginner and this is my first EVER crochet project and I totally expected a giant knotty shapeless mess but I did end up making a super cute jelly fish. Your tutorials are so detailed, easy to follow and fun to do!! I was almost on the verge of giving up trying to work on amigurumis because I never seemed to get it right but your tutorial has made me hope again!
I absolutely love this tutorial! English isn’t even my first language but I still understood everything! I’m totally gonna try this tomorrow, this might be the first actual crochet project I can finish. All the other tutorials I try to watch on youtube don’t show every step on video and yeah I understand english perfectly but I just can’t comprehend the written tutorials at all. Thank you so much for this!
Totally would recommend this!! I’m a 10 year old crocheting lol and I find ur vids so easy and the projects always turn out amazing! I did ur bee to tutorial!
I'm a beginner at crochet and this tutorial is perfect! Thank you for making it so easy to follow. I've made three of these so far, and instead of adding a keyring to mine I've turned them into cat toys! I mixed catnip and honeysuckle in with the stuffing and gave them to all my furry friends for holiday gifts. For the first two, I made them according to your tutorial exactly, but for the last one I crocheted an extra row and increased to 30 stitches to make it a little larger. I also added an extra set of tendrils. It came out the perfect size for a cat toy and I'll definitely increase to 30 again for the next one! Since I can't find safety eyes anywhere in my city I've been using rivets on other projects, but because I don't want to risk them coming apart and my cat choking on them, I used black yarn to make smiling n-shaped eyes by following the steps for making a smile (I just did it upside down). The faces are simple but so cute! Thank you again 😊
I accidently mishaped his head just a bit but now I have a matching jelly fish for a shoulder phone case made with the same yarn •v• Thank you!!, and I love u
I know I'm really late, but I'm a complete beginner to crochet, and was expecting to end up with a massive knot instead of a jellyfish, but it turned out kinda cute! thank you for this tutorial :)
Oh my goodness I can't believe I found your account!!!! This was my very first crochet project I made back in April of 2020 during covid. I had never touched a crochet hook before, and I remember spending an ungodly amount of time trying to figure out the magic ring 😭I just found my jellyfish yesterday after having lost it for over a year, and now I found your account. This is crazy. I crochet every day now and I am soon opening an online crochet business that will sell some of my own patterns! Thank you SO MUCH for your big role in my crochet journey. I hope you have an amazing day ⭐❤
Had a little extra yarn left over so I sat down just now and followed along with this video. Came out with an adorable lil blue jelly (minus the eyes and keychain cause I didn't have those on hand) and it's so darn cute I wanna make more in many colors!!!
I love the little one! Wanted to let you all know that I'm in the US and I found the Lolli yarn at Knotty Lady Yarns. All of the colors are not available but the ones that are, are on clearance. I ordered on 9/10 and received on 9/12! Also, they sent 2 free gifts. Great company to deal with!
Made my first one today in just over an hour. I hope that I get faster at making them. This little guy is being given to a friend as a gift. Thanks Robin. X
Another great tutorial! Just made for my daughter to hang in her locker! Her friends have been wanting me to make something for them and I think this is perfect. Now I need to find a little shark for the boys....
Omg this is the best tutorial ever I didn't know how to do a magic circle but after I learnt it was a breeze as I am a visual learner 😊 I reccomend this channel
This was super fun to make and I love my little jelly! This did not take my 25 minutes it took me 3 days, 1 day to start it because I was confused and didnt know how, 2nd day to make the body, and 3rd make to make the tendrils and sew him up! I’m a begginer but I loved making him, I gave him a lot of extra tendrills in different colors and a happy smille. Update:I made a bunch more and each time it took shorter and shorter and now that I have the hang of it it only takes 25-30 minutes. This is amazing, thanks! 10/10, would reccomend even for begginers like me! Happy chrocheting!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I made these out of cotton, left off the hook, added a few more 'tentacles', and turned it into a cat toy. The cats I made them for absolutely LOVE them.
Look on EBay and Etsy anytime you need to find discontinued wool. Someone usually has a stash for sale. Love all your videos. Thank you so much. Many blessings, hugs and giggles, Kelli
Thank you so so much for making this video. It was so easy to follow along unlike many other videos I tried to follow as a beginner. These are so cute! Can’t wait for more!
I made these without the key rings because i just wanted a mini jellyfish and i can confirm that the key ring is NOT 100% needed so if you want a mini jellyfish but don't want the ring, it works fine either way! Just skip the ring step and you're good to go! thanks for making this amazing video it didn't take long and it was easy to understand :)
I finished my tiny jelly today! I didn't attach a keyring as I didn't have one, but I just wanted him as a companion for the jumbo jelly! Again, another awesome tutorial. Thank you!
It came out cuter than I expected it to. I used white beads for eyes as I couldn't find these nice googly eyes in a good price in my country. But it still looks really cute, so thank you loads!🥰🤩
Thank you so much for your tutorial! You are wonderfully clear and are so well paced! I love my little jelly-it’s my favorite thing I’ve crocheted so far-and can’t wait to make more.
I have had this tutorial saved in a folder for the longest time, but never got around to making it. It has popped up in my feed a billion times since then, and I keep saying to myself that I need to really make this cuz it is absolutely adorable. Well, I'm going to be making this this weekend for my son. He really liked it when I showed it to him. I can't wait! Thanks so much for the tutorial! 🦑
Love these little guys - they are so cute and get easier and easier to make the more you make…. A real hit! Some have hung them from their mirrors in their cars… using them as a key chain is a bit difficult because the tendrils get tangled up…. Love them - thank you for making this video so easy to follow!❤️❤️❤️❤️
This is the first "easy amigurumi tutorial" ever that was actually easy for me! I made a lil jellyfish (i mean, i still have tendrils to do and assembly but that's not problem) I have never before made an amigurumi anything, because it was always so complicated (and a lot of tutorials explain in details those things that i already understand and dont explain those i don't. or didnt because i got the vibe of it now and everything will be just a little easier) Very good tutorial, the jellyfish is incredibly cute, the whole thing is as customable as things can be - i can choose the yarn/colors, the size (i have a lot of chunky chunky big yarn and i think it will work for this too, except it wont be a keychain anymore, just a toy, but still), the face too (i embroidered the face instead of doing premade eyes cause i didnt want to go to the store for them. it looks really cool and soft) SO YEAH Great tutorial, 10/10, am going to share it on social media 💛💛💛💛💛
I used to make little gifts for my mom elderly residents she worked for. I've done turtles and snowflakes and bunnies ect. I've since moved out and shes changed jobs but I still love small projects from time to time. I didn't make a key ring in mine and I attached the tendrils different. Also I used little string knots for my eyes it gave it a little female eyelash type look. I just used stuff I had laying around but it worked. I have a marine biologist friend who crochet too so I sent this to her :) thanks for a cute and fun project! Making something small makes me feel better on depression days because I see progress and success. The only thing that confused me was the magic circle. It had been so long I forgot and being left handed it's hard to follow the right handers way of making it. Oddly crocheting is easy...just flip the work but the circle stumped me for far too long. That how I knew I was out of practice!
This was amazing! I bought a kit from Michael's to make a jellyfish but it was so aggravating that I looked for a video. Yours was super easy to follow and I loved it. I subscribed as well and I love how well you describe things!
Thank you so much for this!! im so happy I finally finished my first real crochet project. My little jellyfish took me about 2 hours and looks a little more like an alien but im still very proud haha
I’ve been crocheting for around two weeks and I’ve watched this video three times. *deep breath* I WILL have an army of cute jellyfish. Time to take a break and come back to it later 😂
Amazing once again. Well, we've now watched and thoroughly enjoyed several of your videos finding you a great teacher, providing clear instruction with a lovely accent. You are in our favorites forever! Many thanks.
@@sarakhawar1221 I took about 8inches of black yarn, tied a knot in the middle 2-3 times and then saddled it over a stitch with one leg of the yarn going in the place she said and the other leg going in the one beside.
Thank you so much for your video tutorials, it's been SUCH a big help to me. 6 months ago I didn't have a clue how to crochet, I learnt via videos on RU-vid and stuck to simple blankets and shawls. I'm now doing amigurumi and your videos have been the easiest to understand. Thank you 🤗🤗 xx
I made my first one and painted it's cheeks pink with some makeup! I also sewed the eyes just like the mouth because I didn't have any eyes at home. I love it! I'm so happy 😊😊
i just learn crochet yesterday and i successfully made this little buddy today!! thank you so much for your detailed instructions, they help me a lot!!
So super cute, and super easy! I will be making lots for grandkids to leave around instead of flowers #randomactsofcrochetkindness........grandkids are having such a good time leaving things for others to find! Thank you so much!
I used a bit of hemp cord I had from a previous project and made a knot in it. It gave my jelly little lashes! I thought it looked amazing and I left the keychain off too. I have a million keychain and one house key lol
She makes it look sooooo easy and I’ve watched this soooo many times 😂 I’m over here struggling like a fat kid in quick sand lol. I damn near threw my hook across the room 😂😂😂
