Hello everyone! In case you missed it, I just published my first book, Plenty of Fish in the Sea! This book includes 20 different crochet patterns for ocean themed creatures. If you’d like to read more about the details of why you should get this book, check out this blog post.
To celebrate the launch of my new book, I decided to host a crochet along with lots of prizes! These prizes have generously been donated by Etsy sellers who are extremely talented.
Rules:
1. Crochet the jellyfish from my book (available as a free PDF during this event).
Note: Pattern no longer available for free since the event has ended on November 21st, 2021.
2. Post a picture of your jelly fish in the comments section of this post.
3. You will be entered for a chance to be one of the three randomly selected winners!
Prizes:
These prizes will be shipped internationally, so you can enter in this CAL regardless of where you live! As mentioned, these prizes are from talented Etsy sellers who produce high quality, handmade, crochet related items.
There will be 3 randomly drawn winners on November 21, 2021. I will email the winners personally as well as announce who won in my weekly newsletter.
Elijah Jelinek, the owner behind “Fancy Boy Designs” creates some of the most high quality handmade project bags I’ve ever seen. The bags have a boxed bottom, meaning they will easily stand on their own instead of flopping over like some project bags. The detachable lanyard makes holding his bag with your hand or wrist super convenient! Best of all, these bags are very affordable for such high quality. Thank you, Elijah, for participating in this giveaway.
If you’d like to see many other designs by “Fancy Boy Designs”, check out his Etsy shop here!
Tina Goodrich has been operating her Etsy shop, “HandmadeMom” since 2010. It’s no wonder why she has so many 5-star reviews! Her handmade crochet hooks are such high quality and are completely unique. While she offers many cute and fun crochet hooks, she also specializes in customizing ballpoint pens, needle holders, and stitch markers, with clay.
I testing out crocheting with one of these crab hooks, and their cute design doesn’t get in the way of their functionality! They work just as any other crochet hook and are very comfortable to hold. I also have to mention that her prices are shockingly affordable!
Want to treat yourself with a cute crochet hook? Check out Tina’s Etsy shop here!
Jennifer Baker’s Etsy shop, “ShopHandstitchedLife”, carries so much variety in stitch markers! I probably spent an hour in awe of all her handmade stitch markers. If you like having something fun to look forward to after completing each crochet round – stock up on some of these stitch markers!
There is 100% something in her shop that you’d fall in love with. Not only are her stitch markers super cute, but the function so well. The crab hook latch means your stitch marker is extra secure in your crochet, so you won’t have to ever worry about your marker accidentally coming out! She was extremely generous in this giveaway and sent me 12 different stitch marker packs, making 26 different makers in total!
Take a look at Jennifer’s Etsy shop here, she has so many fun things to choose from!
I will be giving away 3 copies of my new crochet pattern book, Plenty of Fish in the Sea” for this crochet along.
First place winner: 1 project bag, 1 crochet hook,
3 packs of stitch markers, 1 copy of my new book
Second place winner: 1 project bag, 1 crochet hook,
3 packs of stitch markers, 1 copy of my new book
Third place winner: 1 copy of my new book,
3 packs of stitch markers
Winners will be drawn randomly on November 21, 2021. I will email the winners personally, as well as announce them in my weekly newsletter. Crochet the jellyfish (Note: pattern no longer available for free since the event has ended on November 21st, 2021.) and enter in by posting a picture in the comments below!

Thank you so much, Rachel! It’s so cool to finally have the book out, I hope you enjoy it 🙂 Haha I can definitely see why your 4 year old already claimed the jellyfish – yours is adorable! I like how you made the legs colorful 🙂 I did that on the squid from my book,, except I used sparkly yarn!

HI Katja! Oh wow I really love that you used glitter yarn for yours. Since glittery yarn is slightly abrasive, I could see him being a cool scrubby! 😍 Thank you so much for participating in this Crochet Along! Good luck 🙂
I had 4ply and a 2mm hook handy and my jellyfish is so teeny and cute!
Ooooh using a small hook and yarn can make such a difference, I love yours! He would make a fantastic keychain since he’s small 🙂 You did a great job on the jellyfish, I love how you put your own twist on it!
So super cute!!!

My jellyfish amigurumi, thank you for wonderful tutorial!
I decided my jelly fish didn’t look quite right . So I made a second one, and it is much better. I am still kind of new to crochet in my third year. I am a late bloomer at 57, I decided to start crocheting and I love it. It is fun and helps me get through some rough times.
I love your jellyfish very much! Keep on the good work with amigurumis!

I used cotton yarn for the eyes
I love your patterns. I like how they include where to put safety eyes, because I have trouble placing them correctly.
Love this pattern!
Sorry, I didn’t mean to comment twice.
I am having technical difficulties uploading my image. Cute n fun piece. Thank you Olive.
Cute! Love the pattern! Used a weirder yarn because I was making it for my father and that was the only camo color yarn I had. It still turned out great though.

Also didnt mean to post twice, for some reason it did.
This was a really easy fun pattern!! I’ve also had several request from people wanting to make them with hangers so they can hang them in their cars LOL…
I had a lot of fun with this – I doubled up the a variegated yarn with a single colour to get this combo and produce this chunky wee jellyfish 😀
I really enjoyed making him and will be making more of these little guys!! Don’t have plain black eyes, so I used glow in the dark…. I think they’ll give him a cool kick!! Thanks for the cool CAL and giveaway
Its a minion jellyfish; the pattern was easy and now i wamt to make 100 of these cute things.

Couldn’t resist! Had to make him in Christmas colors.😂 I used a 3.25 mm hook. I love him! Congrats on your awesome book Olive! Your such an inspiration to me.
Such a cute, fun and easy pattern to make!
I enjoyed making this little one so much!! Very easy to follow pattern for a second time attempting an Amigurumi! Beautiful new book of patterns!😊🧶
This is my first Amigurumin. I did have trouble putting on the limbs do to a stroke on my left hand. I think I did ok.

My first amigurumi!! Its a Christmas Jelly Fish, he’s going on my Christmas tree!! 😁 This was so funny thank you.
Congratulations!! On your first book, I love all your patterns. Here is my interpretation of your jelly fish pattern to get into the Christmas spirit 🎅
I’m having so much fun with this jelly fish pattern I just can’t stop, meet the festive mariachi jellyfish! Once more congrats on your first amigurumi book!
LOL I love this, Lisa!!! That is sooo cute and funny, I’m definitely going to try and make a jelly fish like yours 😍 So cute I just love how you turned the jellyfish into your own thing ❤️ Good luck!
I love this jellyfish! So cute and quick to make. I look forward to making the other sea patterns. If I don’t win a copy of the book I will definitely buy it. Thanks for this crochet a long giveaway!
First and foremost, Olive many many congratulations for the new book. I absolutely love the spiral binding- perfect workbook. Looking forward to many more books from you. Had it not been for Angelia (from CrochetingHouseMouse) I would have missed this. Went over to my email and along with that there was another email from our local yarn company asking for knitted hats for underprivileged kids. So, I got this idea to combine the two and make a jellyfish beanie!!!
I made this guy with Premier Pixie Dust and 12mm safety eyes. Great beginner pattern!
This is the first finished project I’ve made all year, and the first thing that I’ve made specifically for myself. The sheer amount of joy I get from just holding this wee little thing in the palm of my hand is amazing. The pose in this picture was completely accidental, because I gently set it down to see if it could support its own weight, and the fact that the front two legs are positioned so daintily in front keeps cracking me up.
Thank you for this absolute cutie of a pattern!
This was so much fun! I used cotton yarn. I will make him again and use it as a pin cushion. Thank you so much!
I loved making this jelly fish. Great pattern! Your new book looks great. Congratulations!
I loved his pattern! It’s so cute! I added a string from the top to make it an ornament 😁
Fun pattern, perfect project to use some rainbow yarn on!
This is the first Anigurumi I ever made it didn’t turn out to bad I will have to make more and try to make them better then this one
