A pink ombre octopus.
Why not!

The main body is cute and small: ~ 4 1/2”.
Yes, there are 8 tentacles, but they are fun to make and don’t take too long.

Modified eyes and face a little.

Recommendation:
All the increases for the designs in this book are kfb.
One’s pieces will look a little better if one works lifted increases. Doesn’t matter if it’s a left or right lifted inc.
