This pattern provides instructions to crochet an octopus toy using various colors of yarn. It details the materials needed and gives a full breakdown of how to construct the legs, body, arms, and other features step-by-step.

The materials required include various colors of yarn, a crochet hook size 2-2.5mm, black and white felt fabric, tapestry needles, pins, stitch markers, and scissors.

The legs are made individually starting with a magic ring and increasing stitches in early rounds before decreasing in later rounds. Bobble stitches are added in one round and stuffing is recommended after completing 10 rows. A total of 21 stitches are made for each leg.
