LITTLE OCTOPUS
Crochet yourself a cute little Octopus friend. Whether in matching colors, rainbow themed, or multicolored – there’s no limit for your imagination.
The eight arms are crocheted to the body and are therefore tightly attached to it.
The little Octopus is a great gift for newborns and preemies. The curly arms remind the little ones of the umbilical cord and make the transition into this new, unfamiliar world a bit easier.
But older children love this little Octopus just as much and it’ll become a constant companion in no time.
All steps are explained in detail in words and pictures, so this pattern is suitable for (practiced) beginners as well. This pattern contains 5 pages of crochet instructions and 10 pages of detailed step-by-step instructions.
Used techniques (US crochet terms): magic ring, chain, single crochet, increases and (invisible) decreases, crocheting in front loops and back loops – explained. The figures are crocheted in continuous rounds/spirals as well as back and forth in rows.
With 3.0 mm hook and DK yarn the Octopuses get to be 7 x 17 cm tall.
You need it smaller or bigger? No problem! Simply use lighter or heavier yarn. The size for he safety-eyes needs to be adjusted then though.

Hello!
I'm Stephanie, mother of three and I live with my family in Germany.
I've been crocheting for a while now. My kids got me to it. When there's no merchandising on the market for the current favorit comic figure you just have to make it yourself. That's how my first crocheted figure came to life. And with that my crochet addiction. :)
My patterns are for beginners and advanced crocheters alike. Stuffed with photos and detailed step-by-step instructions (I think you could call them photo-tutorials). I learned crocheting by myself and often found it quite frustrating to get stuck in the middle of a pattern just because some key-information was simply missing (as a beginner pretty much everything is key-information). That's why in my patterns almost everything is explained with words and photos.
I'm currently converting my older patterns into a new layout. Here on Makerist you can find all the patterns that already have the new layout plus all my new creations.
Have fun browsing through my patterns and happy crocheting!
- Steph :)
