Check out this jellyfish crochet pattern with many interesting tentacles which require a bit of your patience, but the result is worth all the time you’ll spend crocheting this jellyfish.

Interesting fact about jellyfish is that they have drifted along on ocean currents for millions of years, even before dinosaurs lived on the Earth. They pulse along on ocean currents and are abundant in cold and warm ocean water, in deep water, and along coastlines.
