Crafty Intentions CROCHET PATTERN Small Realistic Octopus Pattern (printable PDF-file / 79 pages)

Developed by Megan Lapp aka Crafty Intentions, this pattern is for Small Realistic Octopuses! This pattern is written in U.S. terminology.

This pattern comes with instructions to make Small Realistic Octopuses!! The pattern comes with instructions for FOUR unique body options that can be made with a simple bottom, smooth bottom, bobble bottom, or beaded bottom, with an ADDITIONAL option for attaching beads directly to the body top sot hat you do not have to crochet to attach a bottom if you desire. There are 28 combinations in this pattern (44 if you include the options for how to attach the bottom to the top). Everything you see in the photos is included in the pattern. All instructions are carefully depicted with words and photos! This pattern features clear step by step instruction with a lot of row-by-row photos. The gauge is not crucial to the pattern as long as the stitches are tight enough to hold stuffing.

This is a low-sew, no-sew pattern.

This pattern is a total of 79 pages containing a full set of written instructions with photographic illustrations, and there are video tutorials for particular steps and stitches available on my YouTube channel. This Pattern consists of ONE PDF File, and the last 17 pages are Text-Only, Printer-Friendly instructions, but I strongly recommend you still refer to the photographic illustrations throughout the pattern if you have any questions.

This pattern is available in English.
