2tog once more then finish up by cutting the yarn and threading onto a needle, picking up the outer strand
of the last 6sc and pulling up gently. Pull the end through the body if your needle is long enough, wiggle
it around and pull up until the nose is the shape you want and secure tightly.
Embroider a nose and eyes with black or brown wool and you’re done. Huzzah another recruit!
Legs
MAKE SEVEN
1. Magic ring, 6sc (6)
2. [inc] x6 (12)
3. sc in each stitch around (12)
4. sc in each stitch around (12)
5. in each stitch around (12)
Cut yarn and weave in ends on all seven legs.
LEG EIGHT
You will now be crocheting into your unworked stitches on the legs.
To avoid having large gaps in you work where your legs join, you will be working a decrease stitch over
the gap between the legs.
You may find you are not working a decrease into a proper full stitch, don’t worry, just ensure you attach
the first part of your decrease into the leg you are currently on, and end the decrease on the adjacent leg.
If in doubt, you will see you have 6 obvious crochet stitches and half stitch / gaps either side. Work
decreases into those gaps.
Count 6 full sc back on any leg and join your yarn to that stitch.
The body is made using staggered increases to avoid the hexagonal increase lines you would normally find
in standard circle increasing.
You may wish to use your stitch marker here if you aren’t already!
Cut yarn, thread needle and run through the outside loops of the last 6 stitches, pull tight then weave in.
Embroider the face with your pink and black scraps of yarn and you are done!

YARN: For this pattern, I was using some DK weight 100% cotton. Perfect for this project is a DK weight
yarn from Paintbox cotton collection. You can find it HERE. The yarn is great for amigurumi toys because
it’s easy to work with, the strand is nicely twisted and it’s available in 56 shades.
CROCHET HOOK: I was using a 3 mm or D and 3.5 mm or E/4 crochet hook (HERE!).
OTHER: And of course a yarn needle (HERE!), stitch markers (HERE!), a pair of scissors (HERE!), two
safety eyes and a small amount of synthetic stuffing (HERE!).
st/sts – stitch/stitches
ch – chain (VIDEO)
ss – slip stitch
If the number is written before the stitch 3 hdc work 3 hdc into the same stitch. If the number is written
after the stitch hdc 3, work hdc into next 3 stitches.
Repeat what is written in the () as many times as it’s written right after the (). For an example: Repeat (2
hdc, hdc 1) 5 times. It means that you have to repeat the sequence work 2 hdc sts into the same st, 1
hdc into the next one 5 times. And you will get 5 additional stitches by doing that.
The octopus is made in three simple steps. We will start with the main part which is the body. From
there on, we will continue and give the octopus 8 long arms. And our last step will be, to make two tiny
eyes and attach them to the body.
MAIN PART
Take the yarn and the hook (3.0 mm) and create a magic ring.
If you are using safety eyes with a screw and a stopper for this project, please jump to the “EYES” part
and read the instructions under number 3.
Round 18: BLO! (very important!) Repeat (sc 1, sc2tog) 6 times. = 12 sts.
Cut the yarn and fasten off, but leave a long tail for sewing. Thread the needle, use the yarn tail, and join
all the remaining sts together. Make sure you entirely close the opening so the stuffing will not start
coming out of the octopus.
Now go back to round 18. There are 18 undone front loops that we will use as a base for our octopus
arms.
Round 21: Repeat (sc 6, 2 sc) 4 times. Ss into the last one.

Leave longer tail for sewing. Take the yarn needle and sew all small parts between skipped stitches and
the last dc stitches on the arms. Fasten off a hide all the yarn tails between the sts
EYES
Create an eye base from the yarn. Take the 3.5 mm crochet hook and create a magic ring. Work in
rounds.
Round 1: Ch 1. Work 6 hdc sts into the magic ring. Join the round with a ss.
Close the magic ring, fasten off and hide all the tails. Attach the eyes to the eye bases.
There are two ways how to attach the eye bases and the eyes to the main part/body.
You can sew the base to the main part with a small amount of yarn and a needle.
This third option will work only if you are still working on the body and the eyes you will attach are the
amigurumi eyes with a screw on one end and the plastic stopper that prevents eyes from falling apart. In
that case, create two eye basis first, then attach them to the body with the eye screw going through the
eye base first then push it through the stitch on the main part. I would go with round 17. Attach the
stopper. (TIP: I would take a hot glue gun and attach the small amount of glue around the stopper, so I
can be sure the eyes are not going
