With the exception of the flame on the tail and the cream stripe under the tail, each piece is worked in the round. This pattern includes a few embroidery instructions as well. Each claw and the nostrils are embroidered.

This no-sew octopus is made from the top down. Each tentacle is made separately, then crocheted onto the body (no yarn needle or sewing required. This is all done using a crochet hook and single crochet). This project works up quickly.

Pattern comes with several pictures to help you. Eyes are crocheted using worsted weight yarn. Body, ears, tail, and belly are all made using blanket yarn (bulky size 6). Only one skein of each color is needed, with only scraps of worsted weight used.

The pieces are worked in the round.
