This easy pattern is beginner friendly! It requires no sewing. The head and mouth are worked in continious rounds The tentacles are worked in rows. The finished size of the doll is 24 cm or 9,45 inches. Eyes can be embroidered or made with safety eyes. The pattern gives tips on how to make this toy safe for children under three. I used one skein of cotton yarn, but it was a close call. To avoid yarn chicken, I would buy two skeins.
