This pattern can still be found for free on my website. https://www.knittingwithsara.com/2022/01/moody-octopus.html

This moody octopus is great for an advanced beginner who wants to learn how to do increases and use double-pointed needles. The body is knit top-down in the round, and the legs are knit flat. The face is added using duplicate stitches. The body and legs are seamed using whip stitch. The final diameter of the ocotpus is 7 inches, the final length of the legs are 3 inches each, and the final diameter of the constructed ocotpus is 13 inches. The size is easily adjustable based on needle size, number of increases, and yarn weight.
