This cute little octopus makes a great beginner project and gift. It is crocheted all in one piece, no sewing required! It’s also quite easy to customize, with an optional smile I included in some of the photos. For more advanced crocheters, I can easily imagine fun modifications such as color changes and expressive eyebrows.

Materials:
Approx. 30 grams of any worsted weight yarn
4mm US hook
medium/large safety eyes
Stuffing
Red scrap yarn for mouth (optional)
