Say hello to the Wheat Stitch Octopus — an irresistibly cute, squishy sea creature made with the cozy texture of the wheat stitch! This little amigurumi is a true one-piece wonder, worked in the round with zero sewing required. We’ll start at the top, crocheting the body in the signature wheat stitch, pop in the safety eyes, and then dive right into the twisty, curly tentacles. From there, we’ll finish off the base, add some stuffing, and cinch it all closed. It’s quick, seamless, and totally adorable — the kind of project that’s just as fun to make as it is to squish!

One of the great things about crocheting amigurumi is the freedom to experiment with any yarn you love — from fingering weight to bulky! Simply adjust your hook size to match your yarn choice, and have fun creating all kinds of sea friends!

A video tutorial is included with this pattern.
