Body & tentacles worked in one piece, in the round from top down with one round worked Back Loop Only. New yarn is joined to unused front loops to work lower body overhang.

Instructions are the same for all sizes - they just use different yarns with corresponding hook so that stuffing does not show through - typically 1 size smaller than indicted on yarn wrapper.

Length of tentacles can easily be adjusted.
