This lovely little and big jellyfish! There is no sewing involved with this little jellyfish! I love to twirl her and it’s so satisfying to watch! This is what happens when you use two different sized yarns. I love it!!
Do not sell, reproduce or change the pattern itself in any way! You are welcome to sell your completed products, just make sure to refer to me as the designer! Please make sure to tag me.
