Materials Needed:

• Sweet Snuggles Light yarn (or your preferred yarn)
• 5.5 mm crochet hook
• 12 mm safety eyes
• Polyester stuffing
• Stitch marker (or a bobby pin)
• Yarn needle (Optional – can also use the crochet hook for weaving in ends)
• Scissors

Pattern Steps:

Starting Out:

• Begin with a slip knot.
• Chain 2 (CH 2) as an alternative to the magic ring for beginners.

Round 1:

• Work 7 single crochet stitches (SC) into the second chain from the hook.
• This establishes the base circle.

Round 2 (Increase Round):

• Perform an increase in each stitch around by working 2 SC in each stitch, resulting in a total of 14 SC.
• Place a stitch marker in the first stitch of the round to keep track.

For Rounds 3 and 4:

• Work 1 SC in each stitch around, maintaining the 14 ST stitch count.

Round 5 (Decrease to Form the Head):

• Begin with 1 SC then perform a series of decreases using the invisible decrease method across the next stitches:
• To do an invisible decrease, insert the hook into the front loops of the next 2 stitches, yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, and pull through both loops on the hook.
• Repeat the pattern (1 SC, then decreases) around to taper the round.

Adding Safety Eyes:

• Place 12 mm safety eyes between rounds 3 and 4 of the crochet piece. Space them according to your preference for different facial expressions.

Creating Tentacles:

• Slip stitch into the front loop of the next stitch to start.
• Chain 2, then slip stitch in the second chain from the hook to form a tentacle.
• Repeat this process to create 8 tentacles around the edge of the octopus’s head.

Finishing the Octopus:

• Fasten off the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing.
• Stuff the head with polyester filling.
• Use the yarn tail to weave through the stitches at the head’s opening to close it. Secure and weave in the end.

Final Touches:

• Neatly tuck in any remaining yarn ends.
• Adjust the tentacles and the head to give your baby octopus the perfect shape.
