This pattern is for a small, crochet octopus with unique, bouncy tentacles.

Dimensions: ~ 6 inches, including tentacles
Hook: 3 - 4 mm
Yarn: Any 4-weight yarn. I like Caron Simply Soft. This pattern also works in Bernat velvet yarn, but will not turn out well in heavier weights.
Gauge: N/A

Why medium-fidelity? Well, there are lots of low-fidelity octopus patterns out there that have 8 legs but don’t much resemble octopi past that. There are also some amazing, incredibly detailed high-fidelity octopus patterns! This here is a medium-fidelity octopus with fun, curly tentacles and an intimidating (or cute? Up to you!) stare to help you stand out from the crochet-octopus crowd.
