Octopus Oskar is a funny and curious fellow. Decorate him in an underwater world with shells and fish—it looks fantastic!

Oskar measures 12 cm (without tentacles) or 38 cm (with tentacles). For the light blue part of the body, I used the leftover yarn from a four-strand Bobbel. But you can just as well use another yarn (e.g.
Catania fine or Catania). Then the size may vary a little. Just make sure that the light blue and white yarns are roughly the same thickness.

You can get to the crochet pattern by clicking on one of the images!

Invited to a barbecue party? Then bring hot dogs! 

You can’t eat the crocheted hot dogs, but they last forever and are lots of fun!

For one hot dog you’ll need:

• leftover cotton yarn (yardage approx. 125 m/ 50 g, e.g. Catania by Schachenmayr or other leftover yarn of similar thickness in rust red, vanilla,
  camel, curry, black
• 2.5 mm crochet hook
• polyester stuffing
• 1 thick sewing needle for weaving in ends and sewing the pieces together
