Crochet Jellyfish
This project is one of the projects that look hard but are one of the easiest to make. You can even make it in any colors you would like and you can switch the colors around. These are good for decoration, gifts or even a baby shower. This project only took me an hour and I think it is super easy for beginners. Please make sure to check out my YouTube on my profile!
