Pattern description from Knit.1 Magazine Blog: “I leave the office for five minutes, and come back to this precariously stacked tower of precious on the edge of my cubicle. OctoParty I should have known better than to leave these things unattended around the hooligans of the knitting department, but fortunately, there were no major accidents. Unfortunately, all of the Octopi (or Hexopi, if you want to be mathematically correct) have since been gifted away to various friends and family members celebrating birthdays, but their memory lives on, here in this blog, with a free pattern! Ta da!”

Notions: poly-fil stuffing, plastic safety eyes, scrap of contrasting yarn for row marker.
