LITTLE OCTOPUS

Crochet yourself a cute little Octopus friend.
Whether in matching colors, rainbow themed, or multicolored – there’s no limit for your imagination.

The eight arms are crocheted to the body and are therefore tightly attached to it.

The little Octopus is a great gift for newborns and preemies. The curly arms remind the little ones of the umbilical cord and make the transition into this new, unfamiliar world a bit easier.

But older children love this little Octopus just as much and it’ll become a constant companion in no time.
