Crochet Pattern: Meet Hector and the Jellies

I LOVE this big guy and his jelly pillows! I wanted a big octopus pillow and what a better way to stuff it than with lots of little pillows. 
This makes a great place to store stuffed animals too.

Make one jelly pillow, several, just the mom or the whole set!

Options Included In Pattern 
Large Daddy Octopus Pillow Case to “stuff” with smaller pillows, Mommy and baby jelly pillows

The “jellies” can be made in two sizes. 
Wouldn’t these be a fun way for kids to learn their colors?

The jellies make cute ice cream scoops too 🙂
