5mm Crochet hook
Making:
You commence with chain 2, followed by 8 single crochets in the second chain from the hook. Increase evenly around to gradually expand the circumference of the head, doubling the number of stitches in the second round and then following the pattern (Sc, inc) x 8 for the third. Continue to single crochet in each stitch around, creating the rounded body of the octopus. Decrease evenly by working (Sc, dec), gradually narrowing the body to form the underpart of the octopus.
In the ninth round, working in the front loops only, you'll form a tentacle using a special stitch sequence {ch 4, sl st in 2nd ch from hook, sl st in next, sc in the next} repeated around to produce 8 tentacles. The last two rounds focus on decreasing the unworked back loops from the previous round and fastening off to close the bottom, adding the plastic safety eyes and any desired sewn facial features before fully closing.
