I’m with you with a plush octopus amigurumi pattern called Betta. Thank you very much to the owner of the pattern Lyuba Zemskova. The length of the crocheted octopus from the top of the head to the tips of the legs is about 20 cm. To make such an octopus, the author used Himalayan Dolphin Baby yarn and a 3.5 mm hook. Thanks to the step by step detailed and very easy amigurumi pattern instruction, beginners can complete the cute octopus. Let’s make a beautiful amigurumi octopus for your kids and make them happy this summer!

let’s start:

Rnd 1- Make 2 ch, in the second loop from the hook, crochet 6 sc.
Rnd 2- 6 inc (=12)
Rnd 3- (sc, inc)*6 (=18)
Rnd 4- (2sc, inc)*6 (=24)
Rnd 5- (3sc, inc)*6 (=30)
Rnd 6- (4sc, inc)*6 (=36)
Rnd 7- (5sc, inc)*6 (=42)
Rnd 8-12- 42sc
Rnd 13- (5sc, dec)*6 (=36)
Rnd 14- 36sc
Rnd 15- (4sc, dec)*6 (=30)

At this stage, between the 11th and 12th rows, we fasten safe eyes 12 mm. Between the eyes 5 loops. Fill in the details.

Rnd 16- (3sc, dec)*6 (=24)
Rnd 17- in this row we crochet 8 legs evenly in a circle as follows: crochet sc, over the next column we crochet a chain of 30 ch.

* For chains we crochet like this: in the second loop from the hook crochet sc, then in the next 10 loops we crochet 2 sc in each of ten, continue (sc, inc) – repeat 8 times, then 2sc – the leg is ready. Now we will crochet on the detail 2sc and from the next loop we crochet 30 ch * again. We repeat from to*. Thus, we crochet to the end of the row. We must get 8 legs.

Rnd 18- 24sc
Filling the detail.
Rnd 19- (sc, dec)*8 (=16)
Rnd 20- 8dec (=8)
Pull off the remaining loops, hide the tail of the thread inside toys.

Between the 14th and 15th rows we embroider a smile
