When I think of octopi, the first word that comes to my mind is usually not “cute,” but as soon as I discovered the dumbo octopus, that changed! I always wanted a plushie of one, but most patterns I found were for amigurumi. So I decided to create my own! This pattern is easy to make and can be closed and stuffed to make a plushie, or left open...

This beanie is inspired by the hair of the University of Texas at Dallas’ mascot, Temoc! This pattern is super stretchy and comfortable, adding a fun element to your cold weather wear.
