Hank the octopus is knitted flat and then seamed together using mattress stitch.

The suction cups on the arms are created by knitting a series of white bobble stitches in a contrasting color.

Step by step instructions are given to complete all the pieces and there is a section at the end to show how all the pieces are put together.

Materials Required - 2.75mm knitting needles, darning needle, toy stuffing (~75gms) and coloured yarn.

Gauge: Not important, but do ensure to knit tight enough so that the stuffing does not show through on the body and the eyes

Approximate size is 30cm x 15cm
