Product Details
he octopus is Nature’s most formidable superhero! It is champion of camouflage, expert in escape and a true blue blood. No pretend-realm-royalty here, because the octopus actually has blue blood. And its’ three hearts must make it an adorable, amiable and agreeable animal to knit! So, if you also really enjoyed“My Octopus Teacher”now is the time to get knitting!
This project was done on 2 mm double pointed needles in fine-gauged yarn (but heavier yarn and larger needles can be used). This octopus has suckers that glow in the dark, achieved by adding a strand of luminescent sewing yarn to the work. Variations in yarn texture create a life-like, natural look for both knits.
These are easy to medium projects: knitting flat and in the round with short rows, i-cords and bobbles, explained in the pattern. Soft toy filling was used to stuff the octopus.
And, though you might not be blessed with the dexterity of 8 arms, hopefully you will have a ball with this knit! Viv
