Tiny Octopus: Free crochet pattern

Hello!

A super cute and super quick to crochet tiny octopus. A great project for beginners who are just starting their adventure with crocheting. And of course for the advanced ones as well 😁 You can add a key ring and you will have a great pendant for your bag, backpack or keys.

You can adapt the pattern to your needs by choosing your favorite colours of yarn.

Grab your crochet hook and have fun! 😄

In this project I use YarnArt Dolce (100g/120m) yarn. You can use any super bulky or bulky yarn in your work. Just remember that when using a different yarn, the size of the mascot may be different. You can use completely different colours of yarn, it's up to you. 😊

Finished size approximately - height 6 cm, width 7 cm

Yarn colours (less than 1 skein each):

• colour A - YarnArt Dolce NR 781 - Blush
• colour B - YarnArt Dolce NR 745 - Light cream
