Two original crochet amigurumi patterns: Octopus and Squid, from the Baby Cephalopods range by June Gilbank. These mini amigurumi take only 25-30m of yarn apiece, and work up quickly with minimal finishing, as they only have 2-3 pieces each!

Baby Octopus has long curling arms and a realistic body shape. Baby Squid has two long tentacles and swimming fins at the back.

Yarn: worsted weight yarn (the pictured samples use Lion Brand Vanna’s Choice yarn)

Hook: US E / 3.5mm

Size: octopus approx 5” long; squid approx 6.5” long

Eyes: 10-12mm (the pictured samples use 12mm eyes)

Note: Take advantage of the savings when you buy this pattern as part of the Baby Cephalopods 1 and 2 multipack!
