Tentacles:
Colour of your choice:
Attach the tentacles by inserting your hook under the post stitch of the body and pulling up a loop with the tentacle yarn color. You will be working in a spiral motion around round 2 of the jelly bottom.
1: Insert your hook and pull up a loop, CH 24, DC x 2 in the 3rd chain of the hook, DC x 3 down the rest of the loops of the chain [22]
Insert your hook under the next post stitch of the body and pull up a loop for the next tentacle.
2: CH24, SC in the second chain from the hook, continue down the chain, SC in each of the remaining loops of the chain [23]
Repeat row 1 and then row 2 till you have worked all around Round 2 of the bottom. Depending on how many tentacles you want for your jellyfish, the amount will vary. I made 9, you can also lengthen the tentacles by making the chains longer and using the same method are rows 1-2.
