About this pattern
This purple octopus is made from just two kinds of piece: one round body and eight tentacles. That makes the pattern pleasant for a calm afternoon of repeating the same small part. Inky has rosy cheeks and a gentle smile, so he reads as a classic baby gift. Use a single purple yarn, or mix a few shades for each leg.
A lovely gift for kids and grown-ups alike, and the toys you make are yours to sell.
