Sally the octopus

 Let's welcome Sally! I know Sally is pink but she is gorgeous! Here's a nice scrap yarn stash make don't know what to do with all those tentacles.



Sally is a real treat to make she's really easy this is beginner friendly pattern of a octopus. I made this for a customer she has a granddaughter who is turning 1 and wanted to give this to her

Notes

1- continuous rounds so no ch1 

2- eyes can be safety eyes but I chose to crochet them

3- be sure to double or triple knots to secure each tentacle. Any one year old will get fresh when playing so we want to be sure they are secure.
