Reversible Crochet Octopus (TikTok 2021) | Free Amigurumi Animal Tutorial 

I’ve seen people having trouble with this so I’m gonna try to make it clear. When making the tentacles, each tentacle takes five stitches, 2 in the beginning, 1 for the long bit, and 2 at the end, then you start the next tentacle with 2 more. There should be 4 stitches between each long bit. The row you’re putting the tentacles on should have 40 stitches total, 40 / 5 = 8 so you should end up with 8 tentacles

I just finished it for my 3 month old little brother and I'm so excited to show it to my mom tomorrow morning. The time now is 2:52 am it is very very wonderful thank you very much I hope to share such patterns with us easy and beautiful thank you ❤

I HATE patterns. I've been crocheting most of my adult life and they absolutely kill me cuz I don't understand them. It's not how I learned. This tutorial is the first time I've actually gotten it. Keep up the good work!

This is the best tutorial I've seen on how to do this kind of pattern!! It turned out so cute. Thanks!!

i made this as my first ever crochet project and it turned out great!! i was so confused by written patterns so thank you for making such an easy to understand tutorial :)

I had a hard time when I was going over the tentacles the second time. I didn’t know if I needed to skip the loose loop or not. I did and it turned out fire. Def earned a sub!!!!! Can’t wait to see what else u got

Another brilliant creation! I love the happy/sad aspect of this octopus. I purchased some chenille-like yarn from the Dollar Tree here in California. Your patterns work great using this yarn. Thank you and keep up the great work!! 👍😎😍❤

I have made 3 elephants from your tutorials, 1 plush and 2 with regular yarn. The regular yarn makes them turn out very small. You are great and very detailed. I am excited to make more

Love your videos! I’m definitely a visual learner so sometimes i but patterns only to end up going on RU-vid n following sometimes tutorial for the tricky parts. I’m just gonna stay on RU-vid first for any ideas i have off things to make first because I’m def a visual learner :) thank you for your content

Love this! Just finished making mine. I used worsted weight yarn so I had to adjust the pattern to make the sizing right but it still turned out great. I didn’t stuff the body though. Using the yarn I did made it slightly difficult to try and stuff from one tentacle and I didn’t think it looked right so I only stuffed the tentacles. Plus the yarn I used ended up being slightly stiff once all the sewing was done so it held shape solidly without stuffing. I’ll definitely be making it again and again thank you for this great pattern!

I absolutely love this! It took me 5 tries…… BUT I would totally recommend! Thank you for the free pattern ❤️

Love this! Just finished my first one for my nephew, he’s going to love it, thank you for a great video and a easy pattern to follow 🐙

love this pattern so much! Thank you

Thank you so much for this! I've wanted one of these for a while :)

Very easy to follow, with clear instructions. I made my first ever amigurumi. Tqvm

This is one of the best tutorials I have seen on RU-vid- and I have seen many! Good pace, nice voice over, great filming, clear written text and very detailed instructions. I am impressed by the professionalism of this production. Also, this octupus is really fun to make! It turned out great and my daughter (15 y.o) wants to make one, too. :) Thank you so much! I will check out your other videos, as well! ❤️

You are so talented. Love it ❤❤❤❤

Great video

I just finished this q octopus and I'm in love. Thank you for such a great animal to make your creativity is inspiring.

beautiful 😍 thank you ❤️

I made this and it turned out cute. Thanks for this tutorial!

Definitely don't recommend doing this with whatever weird fuzzy yarn I bought 😂😂 My octopus is wonky as hell

Thanks!

🤩Please put the Arabic translation + I love you so much and your work is wonderful

Just finished mine! It took maybe a total of 5 hours to complete, but I crochet slowly, and have ADHD, so sometimes I get sidetracked. 😅 Anyway, I didn't have any chunky yarn, so I doubled up on 4 weight and used a 6mm hook. Turned out to be about 6" across and 4"-5" high. 😲 Cute as heck, though. I used a black metallic and regular black strand for the happy side. The eyes have a wee white circle around them, and the smile is white. The frowny side is white with black accents. I only put stuffing in the tentacles. I *do* encourage people to use chunky yarn though, because my octopus has a flat head. I suppose if I had put some stuffing in it, it could be more round. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Next one I do, I'm going to add a round of just sc after rows 3 and 5 to see if it'll round out a bit. (Simply because I don't have chunky yarn, and cannot afford to get any.) I LOVE this pattern though. It was very easy to do and follow. Thank you for showing us!

Hi, i was wondering how big the octopus is going to be? And if you want it to be bigger is there a way to do so? Thanks already! ❤

I made it and it came out perfect

Can you do a ghost? Or some stuff for Halloween?

I used Bernat blanket yarn with the 4.25 mm hook and it still turned out huge compared to yours. Like it's difficult to flip because it's so big. My tension was not too loose. Is there really THAT much of a difference in size between my chunky plush yarn and yours?

Hi! How many meters of yarn did you use? Thank you

Can you show us how to do a stingray?

Making the tentacles have been difficult I always end up with an extra stitch between the 1st & the 8th tentacle not sure tried it a couple different times and still end up with 1 extra stitch in the end for row 13

Eu sou do Brasil e amo os seus vídeos!

So cute! I'm looking to make a bunch for the holidays... is anyone able to tell me how much of the ball of yarn gets used up?

Not making an octopus but I'm trying to figure out what would work for a reversible hat

عمل جميل thank you

can you do a little ladybug or a cat? 😍

I'm making this as a gift for a friend and the first side came out perfectly but I've tried to make the second side several times and it always comes out too small and it doesn't match up with the other even though it's the same pattern. I've been trying making sure to not miss any stitches, does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Can you please reply me on the name of the yarn and where to buy this?

Hi so when i did the tentacles my chain stich was not on the side i was ment to work into..what have i done wrong..please help as this is a Christmas gift for this year

How long did this take to make ??? Btw this is sooo ADORABLE💞💞💞

Can anyone tell me how much weight of will it take

Can you make a large version of this

Hioooo☺️ may I ask if I were to create one for my bag as a charm, do you reckon I use medium weight yarn?

how much yarn did you use?

I don’t know why but I am needing to redo this project a third time, I wish it was suggested that you do both pieces at the same, each round on each piece so they match up and are the same size at the end, and use 8 different stitch markers on each piece to make sure there are only 8 arms and that they both line up. I’m gonna try that if anybody has any more suggestions pls lmk, I’m using the same yarn and hook so idk what’s wrong maybe I skipped a round on accident :((

How would you make this with a size 5 bulky yarn? I don't have a super bulky yarn and it keeps coming out weird when I follow this pattern.

I used worsted yarn, so he’s a little misshapen. Idc tho I still love him. I named him squishy

what’s the width and height of this pattern

Do you have a pdf to download with all the steps ☺️

How many grams of yarn did you use??

i need help with the second part of the tentacles

How many skeins of each color?

how do i make the O for the legs

I’m making one 😆 but I ran out of yarn

Somehow the body of mine ended up too short. I dont know if I missed some rows or something but by the time I did the decrease the body wasnt very long and still had the 40 stitches I needed when I was done doing the decreasing before starting the tentacles. Should I just add more rows before decreasing to make the body long enough?

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH my tentacles look like little alien toes 😭

How much yarn did you use?? Is 100g enough for each color?

Is the hook size according to the yarn? Or it has to be 4.25 mm?

In row 12 is it 4 single crochets then 1 decrease then 4single crochets and 1decrease etc?

How much yarn in terms of grams will you need??

Pls help rose my crochet magic circle doesn’t stay flat it turns into a bowl

5:00

How much grams af yarn do I need for this😭

Hi, what are the dimensions of the octopus?

I don't know what I did wrong but I followed you patern and got 16 legs on the octopus I had 40 stitches when I started the legs ,any idea what I did wrong ?

can you use dk?

Is there a way to not make it reversible and just do an under belly for the tentacle in a different color? So I don't have to make another octopus lol.

So no matter what I do it looks like I still get more then 8 tentacles am I doing something wrong? Row 11 I have 40 sc stitches but then when I go and do the tentacles it seems like I have more then just 8 please help!!

May I use this pattern to teach a beginner amigurumi class? I will give full credit to you as writer as well as provide a link to your website.

24:00 :)

EDIT: After watching again this is an error on my part. I figured it out. I followed all the steps, had 40 stitches going into the tentacles and somehow ended up with more than 8 tentacles. I ended up with 12. I did the two sc, ch 7, 6 sc from the second stitch from the hook, through the 2 loops, through the stitch next to it, yarn through all three loops. then I do the next 2 stitches. should I add more stitches in between the tentacles? I have pulled apart and recounted and redid the tentacles 3 times. Im so frustrated.

💞💞💞💞💞💞

My tentacles aren’t coming out right with 40 stitches and only 1 sc in between what am I doing wrong

For R 7-11 what if I make only till 9 or 10 and continue ? Will it loook weird ? I am worried that i dont have enough yarn and i CANNOT go to buy more right now. But I HAVE TO make it NOW. Plesse help.

What do I do if I have 8 tentacles, but there's a huge space between the 1st and the last? Do I just make more tentacles?

What is the name of the green color yarn
