This octopus has bendable and malleable tentacles. Made correctly they will hold their shape, and naturally curve upward. Metal DPN are highly recommended, my patterns tend to break wooden ones.

Extra Materials: 8 pipe cleaners, stuffing, and a bit of scrap yarn to embroider on the face.

if you knit this with a larger needle size the spacing for legs will need to be adjusted. Be careful of knitting too loosely or else the stuffing and pipe cleaners could poke out.
