Release The Kraktopus

Gauge: 19 sts in 4 in / 10cm in stockinette stitch. Row gauge is not important for this pattern.

You will need: worsted yarn in main color, needles to obtain gauge. Small amount if dk yarn in contrast color and smaller needles than usually used for that yarn for knitting in the round (for example, if you usually use 4mm needles with that yarn, you will need 3mm needles this time) to make the binding for eyes, and dk or worsted yarn (again, smaller needle size needed) to make the Kraktopus tentacles. The amount of yarn needed for tentacles depends on how much volume you want your tentacles to have.

This pattern is available only in teen and adult sizes – mostly because having a ski mask with eye openings only and with tentacles would be too distressing for a younger child to have on for prolonged periods of time.

It can also be made and worn without the eye binding or without tentacles, and it can be used as a regular ski mask.
