Leg (make 8)
With j hook ch 19
Sc in second chain from hook. and next 14 ch. hdc in last three ch. Leave a long tail and finish off.
Assembling:
Space the 8 legs around the Rw 8 of the mantle.
Sew each leg to the mantle and weave in ends.
Sew the first sc and last sc of row 8 of the mantle together. This will form a ring with the mantle.
Sew Rw1 t the front of the head, ensuring you cover the are of the head that was sewn closed.
line up the back of the mantle on the back of the head and so that on.
Now sew up the sides of the mantel to the head.
I used safety eyes for the octopus, I centered them on the head and attached through the mantle.
You can crochet eyes or use beads.
