Amigurumi octopus

 

A fun little octopus with big eyes.

This is the first time i've made a crochet pattern and the first time i've make an instructable, so i hope everything i've writen down makes sense. Also, english is my second language so be kind on any spelling mistakes.

What do you need to make this octopus:

Yarn- 1 ball of yarn in whatever colour you like, I used purple.
           Some white yarn for the eyes.
           Some black (or another dark colour) yarn to embroider the pupils.

Crochet hook- I used size 3.0 but you can use whatever size works best with your chosen yarn.

Yarn needle

Scissors

Stuffing

Abbreviations used in the instructable:

rep = repeat(s)(ing)

sc = single crochet

st(s) = stitch(es)

tog = together

Step 1: Make the body

The  body (make 1):

Round 1-             Make a magic circle with 6 sc.
                              Leave a long end if you want to make a haning loop when you are done                                                                                    

Round 2-             *2 sc in each st around - 12 sts.

Round 3-             *2 sc in next st, sc in next st, rep from * around - 18 sts.

Round 4-             *2 sc in next st, sc in each of next 2 sts, rep from * around - 24 sts.

Round 5-             *2 sc in next st, sc in each of next 3 sts, rep from * around - 30 sts.

Round 6-             *2 sc in next st, sc in each of next 2 sts, rep from * around - 40 sts.

I wouldn't have the patience to make one, but I really like it. I really find it cute and the first thing my 8year old said when she saw it on the screen was "cuuuute".
Maybe Mommy can make one ;-)
