I did a couple of these before, but my hands cramped up terribly. Somehow, this time around I seem to have an easier time. For the tentacles I am using the Addi gold #6 for CO and BO and the pointier Chiagoo #6 for the kfb.

For long tail CO of tentacles, leave 26” to 27” tail.

This time I am knotting the tentacles to the opening , then knotting the 16 yarn ends to each other and finally pulling them to the inside.

Finished both today, embroidered faces and gave them a nice little bath. I handled them so much while working on them that I thought a good wash is in order before handing them to a newborn.
