Introducing my Pirate Captain Octopus knitting pattern, the cuddliest octopus in the seven seas. The octopus is 28 cm tall. The octopus and hat are knitted in the round to minimise seaming; I knit in the round using a circular needle and magic loop but you can knit on a set of DPNs if you prefer. The eye patch is knitted flat (back and forth) on a pair of straight knitting needles. You will also need to cast on and off, knit, purl, work increases and decreases, and a little seaming to finish.
