This crochet jelly fish applique is a part of a bigger ocean- themed project that I have on my blog. The Ocean Themed Granny Square afghan is completely free to follow on my blog and is comprised of granny square plus 15 different ocean-themed appliques (including this jelly fish!) that are attached to the squares.

To work the bottom edge of the jelly fish, turn your work 90 degrees, ch 1, sc along the edge. (I crocheted 13 sc across ending in the first sc of Row 4. I crocheted into every space I could find along the bottom edge.)
Ch 2, turn your work, *3 hdc in next st, sk 1, sc into next st, repeat from * 3 hdc and sl st into last st. Fasten off.

The tentacles will be worked in the sc stitches from the bottom edge. The sc stitches are in between the bumps as shown in the picture below.
Attach your yarn into the sc space and ch 9, sl st back up ch until you get back to the edge. Repeat for all 4 spaces.
