About this pattern

A single jellyfish seen from the side. Its bell is a round pink dome with a white streak of shine on the upper left, a band of deeper coral pink down its right side and along its scalloped hem, and a lilac inner body showing through the lower middle. Under it hang two long lilac ribbon arms that narrow to a point and three thin dark tentacles, the middle one the longest; all five sway the same way. It has no face. Very dark violet outline. Full crosses only. It is 37 by 58 stitches and uses six thread colors.

37 stitches wide by 58 high: 1,005 full cross stitches in 6 DMC colors (Light Salmon 761, Very Dark Violet 550, Light Violet 554 and 3 more).
