Materials Needed

• Yarn: Worsted weight yarn in deep blue, turquoise, and lavender
• Crochet Hook: 5.0 mm crochet hook
• Gauge: 14 stitches and 16 rows = 4 inches in single crochet

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Create the Cuff

1. Using the deep blue yarn, make a slip knot and chain (ch) 30 stitches.
2. Join the last chain to the first chain with a slip stitch (sl st) to form a ring. Make sure not to twist the chain.
3. For rounds 1-5, work a single crochet (sc) in each stitch around the ring. This will create the cuff of your mitten.

2. Switch to the Body

1. Change to the turquoise yarn for the body of the mitten.
2. For rounds 6-15, continue to work a single crochet in each stitch around.
3. In round 16, work as follows: sc2tog (single crochet two together), sc in the next 13 stitches, sc2tog, sc in the next 13 stitches. This will start to shape the top of the mitten.
4. For round 17, work a single crochet in each stitch around.

3. Switch to the Top

1. Now, switch to the lavender yarn for the top of the mitten.
2. For rounds 18-20, work a single crochet in each stitch around.
3. In round 21, work sc2tog in each stitch around. This will further shape the top of the mitten.
4. In round 22, work sc2tog in each stitch around again. After completing this round, fasten off your yarn and weave in any loose ends with a yarn needle.

4. Create Tentacle Fringes

1. Cut strands of lavender yarn, each measuring 12 inches long.
2. Attach these strands to the edge of the cuff by folding each strand in half and pulling the loop through the cuff edge, then pulling the ends through the loop to secure. Knot securely to create a fringe effect.
3. Repeat this process around the entire cuff to achieve a full fringe look.

5. Finish the Second Mitten

Repeat all the above steps to create the second mitten. Make sure to check your tension and gauge to ensure both mittens are the same size.

Conclusion

Congratulations! You have now created your very own pair of Cosmic Jellyfish Mittens. With their vibrant colors and whimsical fringes, these mittens are sure to be a delightful addition to your winter wardrobe. Enjoy wearing them or gifting them to someone special!
