• Tapestry needle
• Scissors
• Safety eyes (optional)

Step by step Pattern

Head:

1. Start with your main color yarn and make a magic ring.
2. Crochet 6 single crochets (sc) in the ring, slip stitch to join (round 1).
3. Increase by crocheting 2 sc in each stitch around (12 sc, round 2).
4. Continue crocheting sc around, increasing by 1 sc evenly around each round until you have 30-36 sc (rounds 3-8 or 9, depending on the desired size).
5. Crochet 6-8 rounds without increasing (rounds 9-15 or 16).
6. Stuff the head firmly with fiberfill.
7. Decrease by crocheting 2 sc together around until you have 12-18 sc (rounds 16-19 or 20-23, depending on how much you stuffed).
8. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Tentacles (make 8):

1. Start with your main color yarn and make a magic ring.
2. Crochet 6 sc in the ring, slip stitch to join (round 1).
3. Increase by crocheting 2 sc in each stitch around (12 sc, round 2).
4. Continue crocheting sc around, increasing by 1 sc evenly around each round until you have 18-24 sc (rounds 3-5 or 6, depending on the desired length).
5. Switch to a contrasting color yarn (optional).
6. Crochet 1-2 rounds without increasing (rounds 6-7 or 8).
7. Stuff the tentacles lightly with fiberfill (optional).
8. Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Assembly:

1. Attach the tentacles to the head evenly around the base. You can sew them directly or crochet them in place.
2. If using, sew on the safety eyes.
3. Embroider a small smile or other facial features (optional).

Finishing touches:

• You can add a blush to the cheeks using embroidery floss.
• You can also add a small hat or other embellishments to personalize your octopus.
