Notes

Used two strands of Fabel together instead of one Cascade 220.
Awesome finished object! I made the version with pipe cleaners, it’s just so nice to give those tentacles some tentacle-ish shapes ^^

I followed exactly the pattern, including the part when you have to insert pipe cleaners into tiny tentacles. The first one was tedious, but after the fourth or the fifth, it became surprisingly straightforward.
I am very proud of this one, and at the same time, I feel like the credit is all for Hansi! It’s a neat design, just cleverly conceived. Well, it’s probably easier to achieve it if you have some experience (in knitting at tight gauge, picking up stitches, grafting, sewing…).
