We are in winter, but I continue to introduce you to such free amigurumi patterns as I see them. You can especially find plenty of examples of jellyfish amigurumi toys in the form of keychains. These crochet jellyfish patterns can be paid or free, but they generally show similar features.
Jellyfish Keychain Medusa Amigurumi
Since it is not a very detailed animal species, the area where crochet toys differ is the tentacles of the crochet jellyfish. The making of the toy has a detailed explanation and it looks really nice.

Tips
I used a 2.5 mm hook, smaller than the 3 mm hook recommended by the yarn manufacturer because the stitches must be tight. Choose a crochet hook suitable for your yarn.
I recommend to crochet with cross-shaped single crochet stitch (X) in order to make them tighter, so the stuffing won’t be seen.
If you have any questions about the pattern, please, send me an e-mail to [email protected], I’ll be happy to help you.
