About Octopus Revolution!

Making the world a cuter place. Wanna join? Just whip up an opus from this free pattern, and let me know about it. This group is for amigurumi octopi made from this pattern and their adventures.



Pattern Town!

materials
Some yarn scraps (acrylic works best)
Crochet Hook (I used a 3.5mm one)
Fiberfill
safety eyes

how to do it
Body
start with a magic loop ring.
Row 1: 6 sc into magic loop (pull tight) (6sc)
Row 2: 2 sc into each sc around (12 sc)
Row 3: 1 sc, 2 sc in next sc repeat around (18 sc)
Row 4: 2 sc, 2 sc in next sc repeat around (24 sc)
Row 5: 3 sc, 2 sc in next sc repeat around (30 sc)
Row 6: 4 sc, 2 sc in next sc repeat around (36 sc)
Row 7: 5 sc, 2 sc in next sc repeat around (42 sc)
Row 8- Row 12: 1 sc in each sc around (42 sc)
Row 13: 5 sc, 1 sc in next 2* repeat around (36 sc)
Row 14: 1 sc in each sc around (36 sc)
Row 15: 4 sc, 1 sc in next 2* repeat around (30 sc)
start filling and put in eyes here
Row 16: 3 sc, 1 sc in next 2* repeat around (24 sc)
Row 17: 2 sc, 1 sc in next 2* repeat around (18 sc)
Row 18: 1 sc, 1 sc in next 2* repeat around (12 sc)
Row 19: 1 sc in next 2* repeat around (6 sc)

stuff stuff stuff! finish off.

Legs
Make 8. Only place them up a bit higher than I did if you actually want to get 8 on the little guy.

Start with magic loop ring
Row 1: 6 sc in magic loop, pull tight
Row 2: 2 sc in each sc repeat around (12 sc)
Row 3: 1 sc in each sc around (12 sc)
Row 4: 3 sc, 1 sc in 2 sc*, 3 sc, 1 sc in 2 sc* (8 total)

finish off the legs and then sew them on the body at your place of choice.

By not finishing off the row (only 8 scs) , it makes them slanted and they're easier to attach.

*denotes a decrease. That means do 1 sc split over the next 2 sc.
