IMPORTANT: You are buying a PDF crochet pattern, NOT the finished toy.
This pattern is included in English AND German – both versions are part of the download.
An octopus as a grab toy for babies – crocheted from 200 g of colour-changing yarn, with eight arms and 24 suckers in pink, yellow and light blue.
It does more than look good: two of the arms hold a rattle ball each, two more hold crinkle foil, and mirror foil is sewn into several of the suckers. Every arm offers something different to discover – rattling, crinkling, mirrors, grabbing. Every step is explained with photos.
