From the website:
The Octopus mascot is a must for football fans - with his eight legs you will have four centre forwards instead of one! He can’t possibly miss the goal. From the top of his head to the soles of his boots the Octopus measures 26cm (10¼in). Knit the socks and removable hat and scarf in your own team colours. We have often spotted this fellow at football matches, sometimes on top of a supporter’s head!

The basic Octopus pattern can also be used to make a toy, with each sock knitted in a different colour. A matching twisted cord is added to each leg, providing a fun method of teaching children to tie shoe laces and at the same time identify colours. In both versions the legs can be posed in various positions for extra play value.
