I started the same as your pattern, using Lion Brand Homespun yarn and size 8 dpns. I kept increasing until it was about 5" diameter, and then knit even until it was about 6" long. The icord tentacles looked terrible, so I used 5 stitches but still used the icord technique. I finished it off pretty much like you did, stuffed it with fiberfill, but not stuffed tight (after all, the octopus has to collapse that head to get in and out of tight spaces!) and sewed on two huge pearl beads for eyes. It turned out so great! I would love to send you a picture, but don't know how to attach one to this comment.Purls Before Swinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16394730216156585405noreply@blogger.com
