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!
