ATTACHING TENTACLES (working from the center of the belly):
Attach the 3 skinny light green tentacles evenly around the magic ring of the belly (photo 1).
Next, attach 5 of the thick dark green tentacles, placing them evenly around the 3 skinny ones (photo 2).
Place the remaining 5 thick light green tentacles evenly around the belly (about 2 rows from the edge of the belly, photo 3).
Attach the 5 remaining skinny dark green tentacles, positioning them in the middle of the thick light green tentacles (photo 4).
Make sure to securely knot the loose strands on the inside of the belly. Trim strands (photo 5).
TO FINISH THE JELLYFISH:
To attach the belly to the body of the jellyfish, weave the yarn needle through the last row of stitches on the belly and the back loops from R15 on the body (photos 6-9).
Stuff with fiberfill before closing.
OPTIONAL:
If you would like to have a hanging jellyfish, simply make one more skinny tentacle. With a yarn needle, insert it into a stitch by the magic ring and bring out on the opposite side (photos 10 & 11). Tie a knot on the tail ends and trim ends (photo 12). Then gently pull chain through so that the knot is hidden inside the body (photos 13 & 14).

FOR SHELL DETAIL:
With light brown yarn and a yarn needle, back stitch a hexagon between rounds 5 and 6 (photo 1).
Next, count 8 rows down until you reach rounds 13 and 14. Back stitch a straight line around the whole shell and tie off (photo 2).
On each point of the hexagon, back stitch a line on a slight angle, about 4 stitches. Then turn and back stitch down until you reach the straight line (photo 3). We’re essentially making a wide V shape that is on its side. Make sure that every other line is the opposite, almost like making another hexagon in between the straight line and original hexagon (photos 4 & 5).
For the last row, repeat the steps for making another slight angle, this time going below the straight line. Make sure every other line is opposite like in step 3. Back stitch lines and make sure to stop where R20 from the shell begins (photos 6 & 7).
With green yarn and a yarn needle, sew the turtle head to the shell. Place the head about 2 rows above R20 from the shell (photo 1).
Place the front legs at the top of the belly on the corners, leaving one side open in between them (photo 2). With tan yarn, sew legs to the belly with a back stitch. Make sure to sew them on the inside of the body (the part that won’t be showing, photos 3 & 4).
Repeat for the back legs, this time working on the bottom half of the body. Leave one side open between the back legs, just like the front legs (photo 5).
To attach the belly to the shell, first make sure the head is centered between the front legs (photo 6). With tan yarn, begin to weave the yarn needle back and forth through the belly and shell. To create invisible stitching while sewing, weave the yarn needle through the last row of stitches on the belly and the back loops from R20 on the shell (photos 7 & 8). When you reach the legs, do the same technique but this time the leg will be included (photos 9-11).
Make sure to stuff the shell with fiberfill before closing up the hole (photos 12 & 13).
