Leave an opening in the centre of the back for the filling.
Once filled sew up the gap. Using a length of yarn create the legs by sewing a seam down the middle of the leg end around 2 inch (5cm) in size.
Sew around the neck line to define the head.
Arms: Sew the side seams and fill with wadding then sew securely into place onto the body.

For a variation of this pattern make a tiny jelly baby and a giant jelly baby by halving your stitches and rows for the tiny one and doubling your stitches and rows for the larger one.
