These little Pocket Octo’s are perfect for scrap yarn projects. If you don’t have any safety eyes on hand, just sew them on. They are cute without eyes too!

The Pocket Octo is an advanced beginner amigurumi pattern that works up really quickly; in about an hour or less.

This pattern has been a big hit at markets and makes for easy market prep since it works up so quickly and is perfect for using up scrap yarn.

You can use a variety of yarn weights to achieve many sizes and looks with coordinating hook size.

I used a 2.5mm hook with #3 yarn, a 3.5mm hook with worsted weight #4 yarn and a 6mm hook for use with the Bernat blanket yarn.

There are 3 pages of detailed instructions to help you along the way.

Your Pocket Octo may be stuffed with cat nip for a fun kitty toy, or adorned with key chain accessories to make it into a cute backpack charm or zipper pull and the larger ones made with Bernat blanket yarn can be stuffed with a rattle for a fun baby toy.
