About this pattern

A purple octopus waves five curly arms, with rosy cheeks and a few bubbles floating up around it. Duck egg blue picks out the bubbles against a deep navy sea. You crochet 97 rows on a 50 × 48 grid, about 38 × 36 in in worsted yarn. A fun fit for an under-the-sea room, a beach house sofa or a child who loves tentacles.
