MOUTH: Cut off about 8 inches of black yarn and create a straight line for the angry octopus and a v-shaped smile for the happy one. (You can also use embroidery thread here but I found that a thicker yarn does not get buried in the fluff of the velvet body as much!) You can secure the yarn onto the eyes with fabric glue so it doesn’t shift. Using a yarn needle, loop over the eyes to make it “angry” looking. For the pattern, we’ll be using the safety eyes to demonstrate.ĮYES: Insert the safety eyes between rows 7 & 8, 6 stitches apart. ĮYELIDS: For the angry octopus, cut off 10 inches of red yarn. *Note that you can be creative with your facial expressions! I made two variations to use as examples one using safety eyes and yarn and the other using felt. Leave a longer tail on color B when fastening off. SLST into the next available stitch and fasten off, leaving a short tail on the first 8 legs of color A. (SC) x 3 into the last stitch and work on the other side of the chain Make a second, leaving a 10 inch tail to sew the two bodies together. RND 6-10: SC all around (5 rounds total) įasten off and leave a short tail on the first octopus’s body. (make the first one in color A and the second one in color B). Stuff it some more right before closing using the tips of your scissors for a firmer shape. Fluff up your stuffing by pulling it apart and inserting it little by little to make your amigurumi more even. Use pins when sewing parts together and check for uniformity. Use a stitch marker and count your stitches after each round. A choice of: red, yellow, black felt -or- size 16 mm safety eyes and black yarn for the mouth TERMS: Yarn needle, scissors, stitch markers, fabric glue Velvet yarn in pink and red (here, I’m using Yarnspirations Bernat Velvet) I would also love for you to share photos of your cute creations made with my pattern by tagging me on Instagram Thank you!

The Reversible Moody Octopus is based off of the famous plush! It’s fun to cuddle, but most of all, makes a funny gift for you and your significant other. Hey everyone! I originally designed this crochet pattern around Valentine’s Day for others to make their very own.
