---- About the Pattern ----
The Octopus Squish is a fast, easy, and no-sew amigurumi, meaning it’s crocheted in one piece! The design features a round, squishy body and eight chubby little tentacles that can be pulled down to appear jellyfish-like, or curved upwards cutely for sitting.
They make kawaii (“cute”) desk ornaments or keychain charms. They serve as fun kids toys or nursery decor, and are great for selling at craft fairs. They can also be used for therapy as a sensory fidget toy or stress ball, for people with anxiety, ADHD, or autism. This pocket-sized plush makes a great friend!
You can use any yarn fiber, from cotton to chenille velvet, to create different textures…or any weight to create different sizes! Hold yarn doubled to make an extra big Octopus! This project looks great in all different yarn colors, including solids, ombre, self-striping, and variegated yarn. Customization is easy by adding crocheted appliques, bows, beads, buttons, eyes/facial features, and more.
Size:
Height: 2 inches (5 cm) - if using super bulky weight 6 yarn and a 5mm hook
Level:
★★☆☆☆ Familiar Beginner/Intermediate. Requires familiarity with stitches used (below).
Stitches/Terms (US Terms):
FO = fasten off
ch = chain
sl st = slip stitch
sc = single crochet
inc = increase (insert 2 sc in same st)
dec = decrease (sc 2 sts together)
BLO = back loops only
FLO = front loops only
Materials:
• Any weight yarn with suitable hook. My recommended yarn for a big, squishy octopus is: hobbii.mvk.co/2g8s4
• Clover Amor crochet hook: amzn.to/3fXpjkD
• Plastic safety eyes (x2). These are the cute sparkly ones I used: amzn.to/3OtdzVB
• Fiberfill stuffing
• Scissors

Just learning crochet did a few finger crochet baskets and a crochet rose but this is my first ever amigurumi and it's cute (does have some character since I frogged a bunch and think it increases a little too much (probably because I forgot to count and was having so much fun) but it was a cute first project that had step by step did improvise the legs by doing 10 chains so my tentacles were curling with single crochet since my piece was so big but as I finished I found seeing the decrease was out of frame that it went to the boarder of the words and found it difficult to follow alot but over all love how sweet and step by step you are and how visual you are for us to see helps soooo much to get through to project along with you especially someone who is still learning. As soon as I was done my kids were begging for me to make one. Definitely going to make it again and be more strict with the counting. And I'll be doing more of your video/works as well. Thank you for all that you do in making things. I think I'm going to like this skill and make it into a hobby thanks to you 🥰

Hi! Glad you like this pattern! You can make longer tentacles by adding additional chains to the desired length. Hope this helps!

After the second round, in the third round, (Sc, inc) x 8, does it complete the full round? So is 3 Sc in the same stitch? Is the inc on the next stitch?
@SweetSofties
@SweetSofties 6 ай бұрын
It means to sc, and then in the next st, insert 2 sc (this is called an "increase"). Then repeat that around 8 times. You won't be putting 3 sc in the same st; it's an increase on the next st.

If I use a bigger hook (3.5mm) do I have to increase the number of rows / adjust the instructions or can I follow the number of rows and stitches exactly please?
@SweetSofties
@SweetSofties Жыл бұрын
I recommend following the pattern as written! You can use a bigger hook with thicker yarn, which will create a bigger octopus! :)

Yes, you'll need to turn it inside-out so that the right side faces out! :)

I dont know what i do wrong, but no matter how many times i make it, i can only fit 6 tentacles.. Is it because i use a thicker yarn, or what am i doing wrong? I do just as many stiches as explained :(

Are you referring to R3? After a sc, do an increase (2 sts in the same st).
