Clara the Spotted Jellyfish Amigurumi Pattern

I finally have a new pattern to share with you guys! This is Clara from Princess Jellyfish. I saw a plush of her at a convention a few weekends ago and really wanted to try making her. This is the result. She kind of looks more like an octopus than a jellyfish >.>

She's about 7-8 inches tall. I really don't want to go down a hook size, but it seems like I might have to soon. Need to make myself crochet tighter!

Anyways, here's the pattern. Hope you enjoy!

Hook size of your preference. I used a G hook

Yarn in a dark and light pink

F/O leaving long tail to sew. Stuff

Spots:

I used a combination of these spots. Use however many you want. On mine there are 2-3 spots on each tentacle and 6 spots on the head.

Spot 1: 5 mg in magic ring, sl st in 1st sc, F/O leaving tail.

Spot 2: 6 mg in magic ring, sl st in 1st sc, F/O leaving tail.

For Head spots I also added:

Spot 3: 5 mg in magic ring (5)

*inc* (10)

Face Details:

-For the eyes I made ovals about 3 rows tall with the black felt.

-The white pupils are about a row tall.

- The mouth is 4 rows tall. I basically cut out a narrow red triangle and curved out the tip.

-Attach the eyes and mouth onto the face however you would like. Embroider on the eyelashes with black embroidery floss.

Attachment:

-Use tails to sew spots onto the bottom of each tentacle and on top of the head. (Optional: Stick residential copper electrical wiring into the body and a tentacle, and sew the leg on. This allows you to pose the amigurumi. Here is a good tutorial for this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBBfZZj5cp8&feature=player_embedded#!)

-Use tails to sew tentacles to the bottom of the body. I did 3 tentacles in the front, 3 tentacles in the back, and 1 tentacle on each side.
