Amigurumi Octopus
Lion Brand® Lion® Wool
GAUGE: EXACT GAUGE IS NOT ESSENTIAL FOR THIS PROJECT.
BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.
STITCH EXPLANATION: | sc2tog (sc decrease) Insert hook into st and draw up a loop. Insert hook into next st and draw up a loop. Yarn over, draw through all 3 loops on hook. |
NOTES: Octopus is worked in continuous rnds; do not join or turn unless otherwise instructed.

| Amigurumi Octopus Reviewed by Kashi on 2008-11-27 |
 |
| This is such an adorable and easy pattern. The only thing with which I have an issue is the fact that it's not said where to place the eyes or the tentacles. I placed the tentacles on mine a little too high and it ended up looking more like a spider than an octopus. It's still cute, though.
