The Octopus Keychain is beginner-friendly and relatively quick to make. Because it takes very little yarn and is adorable in any color, it’s also great for scrapbusting. Add a keychain or don’t, either way is perfect.

Another great feature that adds versatility for the Octopus is that directions are given for making two styles of arms, both a long, curly option and a short, stubby option. Each is delightful in its own way.

The Crochet Octopus is excellent for gifts, imaginative play, decor, octopus or sea-loving collectors, and more!
