Amigurumi Octopus Pattern No.19 by pawpaw
What Is Being Made
This is a downloadable crochet pattern for an amigurumi octopus toy designed by pawpaw. The finished octopus measures approximately 23cm (9 inches) tall from the top of the head to the end of the arms, making it a small, huggable stuffed toy suitable for decoration or play.
Craft and Technique Overview
Amigurumi is a Japanese crochet technique for creating small, three-dimensional stuffed toys and decorative objects. This pattern uses fundamental amigurumi construction methods, building the toy piece by piece and assembling them together. The design is rated as intermediate difficulty, making it suitable for crocheters who have mastered basic stitches and are ready to tackle shaping, color changes, and assembly work.
Stitches Used
- Single crochet (sc): The primary stitch throughout the pattern, worked through back loops only for a textured, finished appearance
- 2 single crochet together (2sctog): A decrease stitch used to shape the toy and reduce stitch counts as needed
- Slip stitch (sl st): Used for joining rounds and finishing details
- Magic ring: The foundation technique for starting the body in the round, creating a tight center without a visible hole
Materials and Yarn Specifications
The pattern calls for a 5mm (H/8) crochet hook paired with DK weight (8 ply) acrylic yarn. The specific yarn used in the design sample is Panda 'CARNIVAL 8 ply', which offers a soft, smooth finish ideal for amigurumi work.
Yarn quantities by color:
- Burgundy: 177 meters (193.6 yards)
- Soft Pink: 78 meters (85.3 yards)
- White: 170 centimeters (67 inches)
- Black: 140 centimeters (55 inches)
The total yardage is approximately 100g per 310 meters (3.5oz per 339 yards) of DK weight yarn. Additional materials include polyester fiberfill stuffing, a tapestry or sewing needle for assembly and finishing, and a stitch marker to track the beginning of rounds.
Construction Notes
All stitches in this pattern are worked through back loops only, a technique that creates a distinctive ridged texture on the finished toy. The pattern builder has the option to attach facial features such as eyes and mouth before stuffing the body, allowing for easier placement and securing of these small details. The pattern is designed for personal use only and may not be resold or redistributed.
