Nathaniel the Octopus Crochet Amigurumi Pattern

Size

Nathaniel is 6 inches tall with a 9 inch armspan when crocheted with worsted weight yarn.

Want a bigger or smaller octopus? Use thicker or thinner yarn and a larger or smaller hook!

Difficulty

This is an intermediate level pattern, best tackled if you've already made at least one amigurumi.

These are the skills you'll need. . .

• single crochet
• decrease
• increase
• attach parts
• crocheting into the bottom side of a foundation chain

Don't worry - the PDF pattern has links to videos teaching you all the skills you'll need! And it contains progress photos of all the important steps, so you won’t get lost. :-)

You can find links to sources for many of my favorite tools and supplies here.

You'll need. . .

• crochet hook (size determined by yarn)
• 2 colors of worsted weight yarn - less than a skein each. The sample uses purple, with a tiny bit of white. 
• two 12 mm black eyes 
• polyester stuffing 
• tapestry needle
• locking stitch markers 

This pattern is not available for commercial resale. That means you may not copy and sell or digitally distribute the pattern or any variation of the pattern. 

For example, you may not print the pattern and sell those copies.

Yes!

You may, however, sell anything you make with Shiny Happy World patterns as long as you are the one making it.

For example, if you're using this pattern to make items which you sell at a craft fair or in an online shop, that's great!

Talk to Me

If you're hiring out any part of the process, please get in touch and we'll work out a fair licensing agreement.

For example, if you want to hire someone to help you crochet, or to do all the stuffing for you, those two scenarios would require a licensing agreement. Get in touch! I'm easy to talk to. :-) smile@shinyhappyworld.com
