Jellyfish

Jellyfish as a tidy 28 by 30 filet motif with a strong silhouette that survives even on a smaller grid, ideal for nautical blankets, beach-house runners, and bathroom pieces. Load it in the editor to adjust the spacing, add a surrounding frame, or mirror it for a matched pair, then save or print the finished chart.

Perfect for

Skill level: easy

Comfortable for an advancing beginner. The shaping asks for a little attention, but the chart stays clear and easy to recover from if you lose your place.

Yarn and hook

Size 10 cotton thread on a steel hook makes a fine jellyfish panel; switch to DK or worsted cotton with a 3.5–4 mm hook and it grows into a soft, blanket-weight piece. Pick a smooth, non-fuzzy yarn so the filled blocks stay square and the open squares stay open after blocking.

Project ideas

The jellyfish is a natural fit for a coastal make: try it on a bathroom set, or a coastal cushion. Repeat, mirror, or frame it with open mesh to fill the space you have.

Who it's for

The jellyfish is an easy win when you are making something for an ocean-lover or marking a seaside holiday. Stitch it in the recipient's favourite colour to make the gift feel personal.

Size, printing, and scaling

Worked at 4 mesh per inch the 7.0-by-7.5-inch result is a guide only — your thread and hook set the true size, so swatch before you start. Send the chart straight to print for a clean numbered grid, or resize and re-crop it in the editor first and export a PDF, PNG, or CSV.

Jellyfish filet crochet pattern — FAQ

Can a beginner crochet the jellyfish pattern?
Yes. The jellyfish is one of the more beginner-friendly charts here — it reads clearly and forgives the odd miscount. If you can work a double crochet and a chain, you can follow it.
Can I print the jellyfish pattern or save it as a PDF?
You can. A numbered, printer-friendly chart is one click away, and PDF, PNG, and data exports are all available free from the editor.
Can I resize the jellyfish chart?
Yes. Open it in the editor and change the grid dimensions, crop it, or tile it. Because every cell is a true block or open mesh, scaling never makes half-stitches.
Can I make the jellyfish in more than one colour?
Filet crochet is traditionally a single colour so the filled and open squares read clearly, but you can work the background in a second shade or add a contrast border.
How many stitches is the jellyfish pattern?
The chart is 28 by 30 squares — 840 mesh in total, about 214 of them filled. At 4 mesh per inch that finishes roughly 7.0 by 7.5 inches.
