Octopus Knitting Pattern

The octopus pattern has instructions for both a fingering weight and a worsted weight version. Both are worked the same, seamlessly, from the top-down. The legs are cleverly worked right into the bottom of the body so no extra finishing is needed. The fingering weight octopus makes a great ornament! Size 1 3/4 (3 1/2) inches tall.

The samples are made in regia arne & carlos sock yarn color #3653 (small size), and lorna's laces shepherd worsted 100% superwash wool in color #412 campbell (large size). Gauge Small octopus: 8 stitches per inch in stockinette stitch. Large octopus: 6 stitches per inch in stockinette stitch.
