Gnocchi the Octopus - 6 Page PDF

Gnocchi is extremly shy and often hides from anyone getting to close. He is incredibly good at hiding. Once he has gotten to know you, he loves nothing more than to be handled and loved. Could you be his favourite friend?

This PDF includes the written instructions in US terms and step-by-step photos detailing how to make the pieces to finish your creation. When made with DK weight yarn (sample made in Stylecraft Special DK) and a 2.0mm hook, the finished octopus will measure around 40cm/16” when laid out flat.

The project can be made using any weighted yarn, just adjust the hook size to match your choice. Two stranded projects require 3.25mm hook
