About this pattern

Three small jellyfish drifting at three heights, each a different shape and color. At the upper left is a wide, shallow pink one with a scalloped hem and four thin tentacles; on the right, a little lower, a taller lilac one shaped like a bell, with a darker violet band round its rim and three tentacles; at the lower left a round blue dome with a scalloped hem and three tentacles. Each bell has a white streak of shine on its upper left and a band of deeper color along its lower edge, and every tentacle is a thin dark wavy line that sways the same way. None has a face.

42 stitches wide by 50 high: 776 full cross stitches in 8 DMC colors (Very Dark Violet 550, Baby Blue 3755, Light Violet 554 and 5 more).
