This pattern is easy to read and follow, with pictures to guide you into making the cute, crochet octopus lovey that is safe for babies and children of all ages because there are no safety eyes and no detachable parts. It is approx. 8” tall, depending on length of tentacles and 3-4” wide depending on yarn and hook size. Any type yarn would work with the appropriate hook. Approx. 150 yds of worsted weight yarn will suffice with a 3.5mm hook.
