Notes

Pattern kindly gifted by Denise @KnottingKreations (her own pattern, available on Etsy).

Used 12mm safety eyes, painted by me.

Started this on holiday. Realised I’ve left my pipe cleaners at home though :(

Finished the lower part in neon pink (6.43g).

June 30, 2025

Started the upper part. R8 missing, so waiting for clarification.

June 3, 2025

Continuing with R8 (same as R9-12).

Can use one pipe cleaner for 2 tentacles.
Used wire along the edges of each tentacle, as well as a pipe cleaner in the middle.

Joining the 2 edges of tentacles together needs sc around. At the tip, I added ch2 and slst back down to create a point.

Finally finished late at night.
