My free crochet squid pattern isn’t just cute, it’s quick and easy to hook up! The amigurumi squid’s design is worked in the round from central magic circles, with a few chains and a little surface crocheting thrown in for good measure.

Your Kit List

You won’t need much in the way of kit to crochet your own cute crochet cephalopod:

1.8oz / 50g pink aran weight yarn
Scraps of cream aran weight yarn
4mm crochet hook
3mm crochet hook (optional for surface crocheting)
16mm safety eyes
Toy safe stuffing
Yarn needle

The pink yarn I used was Stylecraft’s Highland Heather aran yarn in Wild Salmon. For the eye definition I used a scrap of James C Brett’s Flutterby chenille yarn, and for the surface crocheting around the fins I used aran weight Knitcraft Change It Up recycled yarn in white.
