★ Eight arms, zero sewing

Say hello to the Wheat Stitch™ Octopus, an irresistibly cute, squishy sea creature made with the cozy texture of Wheat Stitch™. It’s a true one-piece wonder, worked in the round with zero sewing required.

It’s part of the Hooked on the Sea collection of six ocean animal amigurumi, all made with Wheat Stitch. It is quick, seamless and just as fun to make as it is to squish.
