Ollie Octopus


This week I bought an amazing book, Amigurumi Knits, and this is my first creature using the splendiferous patterns within. The patterns looked incredibly difficult, but once I got started and translated the overly explained instructions into proper English it was quick, easy and very effective. I think the author is just catering for every knitter's ability, whether they are complete beginners or more experienced, which makes for a lot of long explanations but once you learn to sift out what you need, the patterns are really cool.

He looks amazing, very, very realistic! I am impressed. Can't wait to see the hermit crab. :-)

Need a pattern for meerkats.... this Ollie looks very realistic. Does he box?

Caroline B said...

No, his legs are too floppy....
I don't have a pattern for meerkats although it is on my 'to do' list as they seem to be very popular at the mo.
