This free pattern for a mini octopus includes instructions for three different styles of tentacles. The pattern works well with worsted weight yarn and a 3.0 mm or 3.5 mm hook, however, you can use smaller or heavier weight yarn and an appropriate sized hook for the yarn size. The pattern includes a size chart with recommendations for yarn size and tentacles based on hook size.

Note: The octopuses in the pattern were made using Big Twist Value yarn which sadly won’t be available much longer once Joanns is closed and 3.0 mm, 3.5 mm hooks.
