Assemble the toy

Stuff the body. Sew the two parts like in the image below. (sew in the back loops)

Curly crochet tentacles (1.00 mm crochet hook). Work in the front loops. We will have eight tentacles, separated by eight stitches (in each of these eight stitches we will crochet three double crochet stitches)

For each tentacle we will crochet 100 stitches and in each of these steatches we will work three double crochet stitches (we will have curly tentacles).

In the middle, I crocheted three chains of 80 stitches, each with a simple crochet. I accessorized with beads.

The final result

I hope you like this pattern. I am waiting for you also on my youtube channel. Here I have an adorable bunny pattern. The tutorial is also translated into english.
