Summer is the source of the liveliest, CUTEST, and most cheerful themes for crochet Halloween & fall amigurumi! So this year, learn how to crochet this kawaii candy corn colorwork jellyfish amigurumi that will be the most adorable addition to your Halloween decorations & presents for kids.

I am more in love with this Halloween jellyfish plushie because of Heather’s secret, and that is to use the larger eyes with the embroidered white part. This makes this jellyfish plushie look even cuter and inocent that kids will simply adore. You can also customize this pattern for summer. Anyway, continue reading to learn more about this Halloween plush project.

Crochet Halloween Candy Corn Jellyfish Plushie & Amigurumi Tutorial
Let’s learn how to crochet a candy corn jellyfish. You start with white yarn to make a magic ring and increase rounds for the head. You change color to orange yarn for the middle section and then to yellow yarn for the bottom section.
Next, you add safety eyes and white yarn details before doing decrease rounds. You crochet two rows of ruffles in the front loops only.
After stuffing the body with fiberfill, you close the opening with decreases. Finally, you crochet three curly white tentacles and four straight colorful tentacles, then sew them onto the bottom.
Difficulty Level
Advanced Beginner
The body uses a basic round amigurumi shape with simple color changes. The advanced beginner difficulty comes from working the ruffles in the front loops only (FLO) while preserving the back loops (BLO) to continue closing the body.
Managing and sewing seven individual tentacles to the base also requires clean assembly skills.

How to Make the Difficult Stitches
Ruffle Stitch Sequence (Front Loop Only)
- This creates the wavy skirt texture at the bottom of the jellyfish.
- Insert your hook into the front loop only (the loop closest to you) of the first stitch and make a slip stitch.
- In the front loop only of the very next stitch, make three single crochets all inside that same loop.
- Repeat this pattern (one slip stitch, then three single crochets in the next loop) all the way around the row.
