Notes

This was a blast to make! Lovely written pattern that taught me so many new techniques. The eye construction was so cool, it was almost a shame to sew it into the body! Lots of work, but so so worth it.

Some suggestions:
- keep your gauge consistent throughout the entire piece. I used smaller needles for the siphon and tentacles and they look too small to me.

  • Use very little to no stuffing for the hood section.

  • Be careful not to eschew the circular shape of the eye with your sewing. Looser stuffing will help this.
