Crafty Intentions CROCHET PATTERN Octopus (printable PDF-file / 16 pages)
Two octopus patterns for the price of one! The effect is amigurumi-like, though there are some stitches other than single crochet. The gauge is not crucial to the pattern as long as the stitches are tight enough to hold stuffing. The eyes can be 15 mm safety eyes or to make this baby-safe sew the eyes on with yarn or felt. The perfect toy for a girl or boy!
