Grim is a Dumbo Octopus with a festive side! He is made with mostly single crochet, so this pattern is great for beginners. I have listed the yarns I used, but any worsted weight yarn should work, so feel free to use up those scraps. You will need:

Knit Picks Brava Worsted in Peapod or Dublin (or any green yarn)
Knit Picks Brava worsted yarn in Rouge or Red (or any pink/red yarn)
Knit Picks Fable Fur yarn in Eisbar (any fur yarn will work, but a bulkier one in the same weight would be better)
Size D crochet hook
Size 10 mm safety eyes
Darning needle
White ribbon, 12 inches
Stuffing of your choice

Gauge is not very important in this pattern; just make sure your stitches are tight enough that the stuffing doesn’t show through. The pattern is one size, but could be adjusted with a thinner or thicker yarn or by holding yarns together.
