Languages: English (US terms) and Spanish

Skill-level: Intermediate, but be aware that the legs are time-consuming!

This 20-page crochet pattern contains all of the instructions and photos you will need in order to create your own Kritten the Kitty Kraken complete with kraken legs, cat arms, ears, and body, spots, an optional mouth on the bottom, AND his cute little toy boat. The pattern includes a guide with many different options for creating the legs. There is also an additional 9-page, printer-friendly version of the pattern included. The head, body and legs are all crocheted as one piece, and the bottom is crocheted on, which reduces the amount of sewing! This pattern has been thoroughly tested and proofread to be easy to follow. You are welcome to sell finished objects made from this pattern.

The recommended yarn/hook combo will result in a project yarn/hook combo will result in a project approximately 14 in / 36 cm long from leg to leg and 5 in / 13 cm tall from head to bottom. However, feel free to use your preferred yarn/hook combo. Using a thicker yarn will result in a larger finished project.
