Notes

Speed knitting to make some plushies for IFC’s charity auction.

I forgot how fast this pattern goes… I may make more for later this year, if the legs prove just as fast to assemble!

Aug 9 - first octopus done
Second octopus done that evening.

MFF Octopus (teal and orange)

I started these shortly after the IFC ones, but final construction didn’t really happen until October.
Still, very pleased with how everything turned out.

Eyes are by 6060eyes, yarn is all acrylic, Hesrtland or Simply Soft.
