Because love comes in all colours. Designed for my infant son, as the tentacles seemed to me imminently grabbable. He loves it, and there is no reason you shouldn’t, too :).

This project is mainly made up of leftovers, so great to get rid of some small amounts of colourful yarn you might have lying about in your stash!

Needles & notions:
3.5mm crochet hook
Crochet markers
Tapestry needle
Two 9mm safety eyes
Embroidery floss in black and pink
Toy stuffing
Sewing pins

Yarn:
Sample was made in DROPS Paris; Aran weight cotton yarn, but I would imagine a wide variety of different yarns would do.
You will need approximately 50-60 grams of the main colour, and leftover bits for the tentacles. If you assume 18 tentacles with 3 tentacles in each of six colours, ~15-20 grams of each colour should suffice. If you use a very different type of yarn or hook these amounts might change!
