Jelly Jewels are wall hangings designed to serve as a jewelry organizer.
They are knit in the round from the center out with fingering weight yarn, and feature assigned pooling petals on a stockinette stitch background.
Choose a yarn that is dyed for assigned pooling, with an accent color run of about 8-10”/20-25 cm long. One skein of pooling yarn is enough for five or more pieces, depending on what size you make. I used a skein of Cadillac Sock, colorway April in Paris, from Garage Dyeworks.
I designed Jelly Jewels because I was frustrated with my box of tangled necklaces. I wanted a way to organize them and show them off.
I used these Cat Clip stitch markers from Twice Sheared Sheep; they come in several colors: Rainbow, Silver, Gold, and Bronze. I used the large size.
Tutorials are included for a center out cast on, an assigned pooling Petal Motif, and wet blocking. Blocking is magic; you’ll need to wet block these to make them taut in their frames.
This pattern is available through Ravelry, and also through Payhip.
Why are these called Jelly Jewels? I knit these at the coast, and the jellyfish reminded me of my knitting. Pictured: Knitting and Twin Rocks in background, Moon jelly, Lion’s Mane jelly.
