Free Pattern Review - Crochet Jellyfish

Hey there!

I'm so excited to share this with you today. I came across this pin on Pinterest that was just the cutest crochet jellyfish I have ever seen! 

Check out the designer, One Dog Woof here, and the free pattern for the Crochet Jellyfish here!

Usually I'd just say, "that's so cute! I wish I could make something like that!". Except this time, I decided to just give it a try. Why not?!

I was a little discouraged at first, thinking it didn't look like the picture. But if I've learned anything in my years of crocheting and following patterns, it's best to just follow what the designer says, and it always works out in the end!

Check out how I did

 Not only did I finish the one I started, but I made TWO more! The pattern was very easy to follow, and they're so cute! If you've been wanting to try out something new, this is perfect for you.

I think they look great here for now, what do you think?

Super Simple Back To School Tote

Anyone who's spent some time on my blog knows I'm more than obsessed with bags. Especially tote bags. I have a ridiculous amount of crochet bags, in fact the first pattern I ever made was for a tote bag here! 

Since it's been a while that I've came out with a pattern, I decided to make something simple and easy. If you can single and double crochet, you can easily whip up this bag in a day or two.

I hope you enjoy!
