How To Crochet Adorable Octopus Amigurumi

Materials Needed

To make this octopus amigurumi, you will need:

• Any one color yarn
• Black yarn (for mouth embroidery)
• Pink yarn (for cheek embroidery)
• 4 mm safety eyes
• Blank earrings for keychains
• Stuffing
• 3 mm crochet hook (or smaller than recommended for your yarn)
• Yarn needle
• Stitch marker (or a paper clip)
• Pair of scissors

Steps

Step 1: Body

1. Creating the Body
   • Use 3 mm crochet hook and start with a magic circle.
   • Make a chain one (does not count as a stitch).
   • Make six single crochets into the magic circle.
   • Pull the tail to cinch the circle closed.
   • Mark the last stitch of the round.
2. Round 2
   • Increase round: Make two single crochets in each stitch around (total of 12 single crochets).
3. Round 3
   • Make a single crochet in the first stitch.
   • Increase in the next stitch.
   • Repeat this sequence around (total of 18 single crochets).
4. Round 4
   • Make a single crochet, an increase, then two single crochets.
   • Repeat around (total of 24 single crochets).
5. Rounds 5-9
   • Make one single crochet in each stitch around.
   • This will keep the stitch count constant at 24.
6. Inserting the Safety Eyes
   • Place them between rounds 6 and 7, with three stitches between them.
   • Attach the safety backs.

Step 2: Decreasing for the Body

1. Round 10
   • Make one single crochet, then an invisible decrease.
   • Repeat this sequence around (total of 16 single crochets).
2. Stuffing the Body
   • Lightly stuff the body; be careful not to overstuff.
3. Round 11
   • Invisible decrease in the back loops only around (total of 8 single crochets).
   • Cut the excess yarn and fasten off.
   • Weave the tail through the front loops to close the hole.

Step 3: Creating Tentacles

1. Using Front Loops from Round 10
   • Join yarn and chain five.
   • Make half double crochets in the second chain from the hook along the chain.
   • Slip stitch into the next front loop.
2. Repeat for All Tentacles
   • Repeat the above steps for all eight tentacles.
   • Fasten off and weave in the tails.

Step 4: Embroidering the Face

1. Mouth and Cheeks
   • Use black yarn to embroider a smile between the eyes.
   • Use pink yarn to add blush beneath the eyes.
2. Securing Embroidery
   • Tie knots at the back to secure and hide them within the body.

Step 5: Attaching Keychain

1. Secure the Keychain Loop
   • Use the yarn tail to attach the keychain loop securely.
   • Tie knots and hide them within the body.
