The Olivia the Octopus pattern’s final size is about 2-3 inches tall, and about 3-4 inches wide. This pattern can be used with all different colors of yarn, but should use black to embroider the eyes (safety eyes can be a substitute for embroidering). The size can very based off of the tension of your yarn. Make sure you keep the same tension the whole way through. I hope you enjoy the look of your finished product!
