Free Amigurumi Seamless Octopus Pattern Here you can find my version of an amigurumi octopus. Little amigurumi octopodes are great for prematurely born babies - they can crab tentacles. A crocheted octopus can also be baby´s first toy to hold and to play with. It´a known fact that babies like to grab or hold little things in their hands. My son was sleeping better with a ladybug in his both hands to feel secure. I´m making these tiny amigurumi octopodes for pre-born babies and will share my version with step-by-step photos to help you to create these lovely toys for your loved one or try to find a hospital closest to you and donate them for ones in need. I used Madame Tricote Camilla yarn and 2mm crochet hook, tentacles can´t be longer than 22 cm. My octopus pattern has tenacles max. 14 cm. The diameter is approx. 3 cm. If you use 2,5 or 3mm crochet hook then your octopus will be bigger. This amigurumi octopus pattern is the ultimate simplification of the real octopus, but I like it in this way. I´ve always liked minimalism, eyes can be added later, little embroidered eyes. This free pattern is seamless - in one piece, that makes it safer for a baby and easier to make. (these were the first amigurumi octopodes I made) Octopus 1) Form a magic ring with 6 sc 2) 6 x Inc (12) 3) [1 Inc + 1 sc] all around (18) 4) [1 Inc + 2 sc] all around (24) 5) sc all around (24) 6) [1 Inc + 3 sc] all around (30) 7-9) sc all around (30) 10) [1 Invdec + 3 sc] all around (24) 11) sc all around (24) (always click on the photo to enlarge) Now, start to make tentacles, there will be 8 tentacles, octo :) For that start to make a chain, 30 chain stitches, then into 2nd stitch from the hook make 1 Inc - 2 single crochet into one, repeat the same all along, you´ll have the curly look then make 3 sc on the head and start to make another tentacle, this time 35 chain stitches. Make the same sequence all around, 30 ch. st. and 35 ch st and 2 single crochet into every st. Continue without counting rows (Stuff gradually, I used sheep wool, a natural filling, can be washed as well): 1 single crochet, 2 together (Invdec) up to that point, you´ll have 6 or 7 stitches left, make 1 slip stitch at the end, cut the yarn leaving a length of yarn Finish off with "neat finish" Pick up stitches left one by one with the yarn needle and pull them together to have a neat and proper finish. well done, your little octopus is ready :) PS! You might want to embroider eyes on your amigurumi octopus. and a video: how to embroider eyes on amigurumi and a special edition: two more rows added to head and tentacles are a bit different. and all together: ENJOY!
