Mr. Octi is a super cute octopus with a unique constriction. He is very easy to make, and there is no sewing involved! He is also a large toy, and is made to be soft and lovable. It is, however, easy to make him smaller by using a smaller hook and thinner yarn. He’s the perfect toy for the smaller people in your life! Plus, with thick yarn and a large hook, Mr. Octi works up very quickly! He’s easily a project you can finish in a day! He’s perfect for last minute gifts.

Materials:
1 9 mm hook
1 skein of super bulky yarn (Lion Brand Wool Ease is what is used in the pictures)
Fiberfill/stuffing

These great legwarmers use a color changing, self-striping sport weight Bernat yarn that has a crinkle to it. Super soft and oh so fashionable.

Sport weight Bernat yarn in Splash Stripes used about 1/2 a skien for the pair.
K hook.

length from knee to ankle on a 10 year old, width 30 stitches or to fit the largest part of the calf.

I really never calculate gauge, but I used a nice fat K hook. Obviously the smaller the hook the tighter the stitch and I wanted these to be done quickly and have a slouchy look to them.
Note: this size is usually good for child/teen. Increase beginning chain by 5, or 10 to make med, or large sizes, or make a chain and wrap it around the largest part of the calf and count how many chains it is.

I love to crochet, always looking for patterns, for free or buyed. Thanks God magazines are digital this year!, I used to pay more for deliver than the magazine!.
But I like to make my own patterns too, most of the time I gave them as a gift, and I forget to write the pattern or even take a pic!.
As many of us, my craftroom is plenty of leftover yarn, and last month I made 2 lovely rugs for a baby, no pattern, no pic, again!.
Just 2 nights ago, I dreamed of the nutcracker ballet (wishing December and hot sunny days?, I live in Chile), so the next day I draw what I think is a nutcracker for me. Yesterday was perfect, rain (the first of the year), dark, cold,perfect day for crochet with nothing that could take me away of my nutcracker.
The pic. was taken today, outside for a better light, and believe me, the hat looks fine. He did not want buttons or anything else, yours perhaps will want to be a wallhanger, some pockets , mine is for my son, nothing that he could take out or swallow (LOL, he is grown up!). Both are now sleeping as babies......

Materials Needed
Sport weight yarn (can't say a brand, but it is 100% acrylic)
Red: 2-3 oz (60-90 g)
Black: 1-1.5 oz (30-50 g)
Lilac: 1 oz (30 g)
Blue, gold yellow, white, tan : leftovers yarn
Crochet hook: F/5 ( 4mm)(for the yarn I could use a G hook, but as it is a rug, I wanted to be tight)
Tapestry needle for embroider eyes, teeth belt, legs. ( Do not add any button if it is for a kid)

Final Measures
32” (81 cm) tall
14.5” (37 cm) body 19” (48 cm) with arms

Mine was : 4 rows: 2” (5 cm)
8 dc’s: 2” (5 cm)
If you use another kind of yarn/ hook all over the rug, it is not important, only the measures will change.

ch:chain
dc: double crochet
sl st: slip stitch
st(s): stitch(es)
yo: yarn over hook
dc2tog (dc 2 sts together): [Yo, insert hook in next st and draw up a loop, yo and draw through 2 loops on hook] twice, yo and draw through all 3 loops on hook.
Important: When changing colors, do not forget to work the last st until 2 loops remain on hook, drop old color, pick up new color, yo and draw through both loops on hook.

Girly girls just love this purse!
I designed this simple purse to teach crochet at a local arts and crafts store. It helps you practice different stitches, how to change colors and joining. It also teaches the “corner stone” of crochet….. The granny square!

You only use small amounts of yarn so it’s a great stash buster!

Size H (5mm) hook
2 colors Caron Simply Soft yarn
yarn needle
optional: fabric for lining the purse

6 inches square not counting the strap

Finishing and Handle
Hold 2 squares wrong sides together join by sc: Take your hook through the first st like you would to sc normally, then put your hook through the same st on the 2nd square. YO pull your yarn through both sts and complete the single crochet. 3 sc in each corner. Leave one side open. When you get to the top of the 3rd side, ch 80. Join to top of other side of bag with a sl st. Sc across top of one side of the bag and then up around the 80 ch strap. (you may want to do 2 or 3 sc in the join between the top of the bag and the strap). When you get to the other side, sc across the other side of the opening and up the “bump” or bottom side of the ch 80 . This is going to be the handle. Join to top of bag and finish off. Sew in ends. Line bag if you so want.
