HOW TO:
Mini: Make a small ball of yarn in your hand (this is a good way to use little bits of leftover yarn!) Tie it together to form a "head." The face is a foam sticker, cut into small pieces & attached with sticky part.
Cut up long strands of yarn (all same length) so you have at least 3 pieces for each of the 8 legs. Push the ends of the sets of strands into the yarn under the head, all around it. Braid 3 together & secure with a twist tie (saved from bread/rolls) or whatever. Do it all way around. Use your imagination & create your very own octo critter! (idea: give one away to a sick person, nursing home guests, or put in your Operation Christmas Child boxes)
Large Octopus Critter:
Use a med-lrg ball of yarn for the head. Yarn needle to stitch the face on. Felt & a pom pom for the hat.
LEGS: Make 8 Foundation rows using 2 color yarns tied together, and a 10mm hook. Finished size is 10 in. long. Push through yarn to attach & tie onto critter in circle pattern, all around the head.
