Octopuses (or octopi) are all the rage lately, and this pattern is a fun take on a trendy idea. Using a big hook and thick yarn, this quick and easy no-sew pattern is even appropriate for new crocheters.
This pattern is completed in two parts: the top and the bottom, which are then crocheted together.
As with many patterns, it is easy to adjust the look and size of your Atlas using different yarn weights with a compatible hook.
