Why Not Try An Octopi?
This pattern was inspired by the pattern found here. I changed it up a bit to make it easier even though it is quite easy already. For this little guy I used Vanna's yarn, two strands (red and orange) with a size K hook. The legs curl on their own, sooo cute!
I am confused about the two colors... do you work them together at the same time? Or do you change colors at some point? It's not real clear from the instructions.
I have been crocheting on and off for years. A friend’s mom taught me to crochet a bit in grade school over 25 years ago, but I hadn’t done anything with it until a few years ago when I re-taught myself using a simple book. I have crocheted baby blankets for my children and completed a handful of other small projects. I love all things crafty but I don’t do near as much as I used to now that I have three children under the age of 6. Crocheting is the perfect craft for my life right now, relax in my recliner after the kids go to bed and stitch up some great things for them to wear, use, and play with!

I'm a total crochet novice, having picked up the hobby in February of 2009. I am learning by surfing the internet, watching videos on YouTube, and playing around with things that are way too hard for a beginner! It's a joy for me to be doing something that appeals so much to both my creativity, and to my logical and mathematical side. I also enjoy golf, yoga, playing music (flute, violin, hammered dulcimer) and spending time with my husband and our four kids.
