Hello and thank you for stopping by! This listing is for a crochet pattern so you can make an adorable little octopus friend! Sprinkles will fit in the palm of your hand, so it makes a good decor item for a desk or small work space, a toy for a baby or a child, or just a great little conversational piece to have sitting around your house!

Materials needed:

  • 3.75mm hook (you can use whatever size you want, just make sure that the hook is compatible with the yarn weight)
  • Worsted Weight Yarn – I used I Love This Yarn! From Hobby Lobby, but any 4-ply yarn will be perfect
  • Scissors
  • Yarn Needle
  • Stitch Markers
  • Safety Eyes – 10mm
  • Stuffing (you don’t need a lot and could get away with using yarn scraps if desired)

Note: Please use caution if using safety eyes on crochet patterns when giving the item to a child or baby.
