Developed by Megan Lapp aka Crafty Intentions, this pattern is for a Realistic Octopus!! This pattern is written in U.S. terminology.
This pattern comes with instructions to make your very own Realistic Octopus!! Everything you see crocheted in the photos is included in the pattern, including two bottom options - a simple bottom, and a complex bottom with realistic suckers. All instructions are carefully depicted with words and photos! This pattern features clear step by step instruction with a lot of row-by-row photos. The gauge is not crucial to the pattern so long as you are consistent throughout.
This pattern is a total of 87 pages containing a full set of written instructions with photographic illustrations, and there are video tutorials for particular steps and stitches available on my YouTube channel. This Pattern consists of ONE PDF File, and the last 15 pages are Text-Only, Printer-Friendly instructions, but I strongly recommend you still refer to the photographic illustrations throughout the pattern if you have any questions.
This pattern is available in English, Spanish, German, and French. Este patrón está disponible en español. Diese Anleitung ist sowohl auf Deutsch erhältlich. Une traduction française du patron est maintenant disponible.
