Cute and easy!

This is a really cute pattern and very easy to stitch. However, it’s a heptapus, as it only has seven legs. 😉

Super cute

Made my first one and about to start my second! It's great and must have been edited after the first review because mine came out with 8 legs.

Fun pattern with an easy to fix mistake

I have made this pattern 3 times now. It is fun and easy and comes out so cute. If you follow the pattern as written it will result in an Octopus with only 7 legs. Great if the recipient loves Hank from "Finding Dory" but annoying otherwise. If you add 1 more row of increases just before dividing for the tentacles you will end up with the right amount of stitches for 8 legs.

The pattern for the head is missing rnd 9. Is it just miss numbered?

Can I use a bigger hook and blanket yarn if so what size will it be and how much of each color will I need

I have completed my head of the octopus but am confused on the divide the tentacles section? Do I jump straight into the first tentacle where I finished the last round of the head? Also from my counting the octopus will have 7 tentacles?

I have 2 stitches left when I am doing my tentacles attached to the head. Did I mess up along the way? I would attach the slip stitch and chain 2 at the beginning of each tentacles but I proceeded to the next stitch for my hdctog for the start.

I am currently making Octavia the Octopus. I cannot figure out where to join the MC to make the second and subsequent 5 more tentacles. Not sure where the missed sc is on the last round which I am assuming you mean the 34th round of the head? Thanks.

I'm still new to crochet so learning to read patterns...but I'm working on the head and got to the "7th and alt rnds" and I'm not sure what that means? Is it a round of sc every other round??

Can you please clarify (step-by-step) on how to do the next step (bottom) after completing the 7 tentacles? I am not understanding with starting on the 7th rnd. This is where I am lost.

Hi there, I've started working this pattern and I've finished my first tentacle. I'm not sure how or why I'm making another MC to do my second tentacle though. Could you please explain?

What is the size of the octopus?

Beginner here. I bought the Amigurumi Friends and am making Octavia the Octopus. I am where you chain 34 the first tentacle. I get that you the sets of 1 and 2 four times ack up the chain of 34. How does the tentacle attach?
