Got the urge to decorate with tentacles? Turn to this charmingly persistent little octopus. He works up quickly, grows arms to your desired length, and takes on a creepily realistic aspect once stuffed and mounted. He will happily attack any surface you’d like to sew him onto—hats, cushions, bags, tea cosies, and more. Only note that he comes with no instructions for a bottom surface…what he gloms onto will be up to you.
Please note that this pattern can be worked in any gauge, using yarn and needles of your choice. Using the recommended yarn, needle and gauge will result in an octopus with a roughly 18” circumference when well stuffed.
