Introduction
This is my first official pattern. I got the idea after completing an octopus using a pattern from Loren
Ver.
I thought the concept was interesting and wanted to created a smaller version.
This pattern was a good challenge, because I had to test is by myself and there was a lot of versions. I think this little amigurumi octopus turned out great!
Materials Needed for the Amigurumi Octopus
- 5 mm hook
- Stitch markers
- 6 weight yarn (in this pattern, Sweet Snuggles™ Lite Yarn by Loops Threads) (approx. 45 g/36 m)
- Safety eyes
- Polyfill
Pattern notes
This pattern is worked in rounds, so it is important to mark the last stitch of each round with a stitch marker.
If no number is provided in front of an stitch, do 1.
The pattern is using US terminology.

(…) x n : do what is in the parenthesis n
times

the last stitch of the round (the one contai-
ning the last sc made) and front loop of the
next st in the round. YO, pull through 3 (2
