SPECIAL PROMOTION, OCTOBER 2013: Purchase any two patterns and receive a third for free. Simply put any three hansigurumi patterns in your cart, and you will only be charged for two. A special thank you to all who have supported my design work.

The dumbo octopus is a deep ocean cirrate octopus, known for the distinctive fins (or ears!) on its mantle and the extensive webbing between its arms.

Knit your own dumbo octopus amigurumi with this original hansigurumi design! This sweet creature makes a lovely toy for a child as well as an unusual item for a plush collector.

This pattern provides 6 pages of written and pictorial instructions for knitting your little friend. Additional assistance is also available through e-mail consultation.

Necessary skills include knit, purl, increases, decreases, short rows, and picking up stitches. This pattern is recommended for the intermediate- or experienced-level knitter.
