Skill-level: Intermediate, but this is a large and time-consuming project!

This 32-page crochet pattern contains all of the instructions and photos you will need in order to create your own Konrad the Kraken complete with arms, fins, spots, an optional mouth on the bottom, AND his cursed pirate ship. The pattern includes a guide with many different options for creating the arms. There is also an additional 15-page, printer-friendly version of the pattern included. The body and arms are all crocheted as one piece, and the bottom is crocheted on, which reduces the amount of sewing! This pattern has been thoroughly tested and proofread to be easy to follow.
