Materials: 50 g variegated yarn, 2.5–3.0 mm crochet hook, 30–40 g polyester fiberfill, 6 mm safety eyes (or embroider eyes for baby-safe toys), tapestry needle, stitch marker and scissors. Stitches used: magic ring, single crochet (sc), increases (inc), decreases (dec), slip stitch (sl st), chains and spiral chains; use loop stitch or clustered sc for ruffled tentacles. Safety notes: attach safety eyes before stuffing and secure with washers, or replace with embroidered eyes for infants; firmly stitch or crochet tentacles into the body and hide all tail ends. Size: finished dome is roughly 6–8 cm (2.5–3 in) across, total length with tentacles about 12–15 cm (5–6 in), varying with yarn and tentacle style. Tips: use a slightly smaller hook than recommended to reduce gaps, stuff evenly without overfilling, mark rounds to maintain shape, and consider adding pipe cleaners to select tentacles for poseability or using gradient yarns for a soft color transition.

A delicate, hand-sized jellyfish amigurumi worked in gradient cotton for a soft, oceanic look.

Stitches & techniques: magic ring, single crochet (US), increases and invisible decreases for a smooth dome, surface slip stitch or embroidery to add vertical stripes, chains and loop or picot stitches to create ruffled and straight tentacles. Safety: crochet with a tight gauge to prevent stuffing escape; securely knot and weave in all ends; use embroidered eyes or child-safe eyes rated for 3+ if the toy is for a young child; avoid loose long strands for babies. Size: bell measures about 6 cm (2.5 in) across; full length with tentacles ranges ~12 cm (4.5–5 in) depending on tentacle length. Tips: work with a slightly smaller hook for firmer fabric, stuff firmly but not overpacked, attach tentacles before closing the base for neater joins, and steam-block lightly for even shaping.
