The Girl that Stitches

On the Second Day of Christmas... Two Octopi...  Two Octopus? No Turtle Doves... This past month I picked up the crotchet hook to make some gifts.  This is my first time trying out Amigurumi! I found it slightly challenging and my first attempt failed because the tension wasn't consistent enough. As a result there were gaps in the stitching when it was stuffed.  I also broke a metal crotchet hook... Yes it is possible- the end flew off!  Anyway, I succeeded on my second and third attempts.  These are for two mothers to be, both due to have their babies soon. Here are the Octopi: This is the wool used for variegated octopus: The green octopus is made using a beautiful wool that has flecks of yellow, aqua, blue and red through it.  I have no idea the brand but it was much better to work with than the variegated wool which kept splitting! Here is the link for the pattern used below; there are lots of really cute free patterns on this site: https://www.lilleliis.com/amigurumi-crochet-
