Hank the Octopus

Introducing Hank the Octopus: a delightful knitting pattern that's perfect for crafters of all levels! This charming octopus is designed to be worked flat, seamlessly stitched, and skillfully stuffed, creating a lovable companion for kids and adults alike.

The signature feature of Hank is the unique suction cups on its arms, which are crafted using bright white bobble stitches in a contrasting color to add a playful touch.

Plus, to ensure a seamless assembly, there's a helpful section at the end that includes detailed photos demonstrating how to attach all the parts together smoothly.

When it comes to gauge for this project, it's not strictly important; however, be sure to knit tightly enough to prevent the stuffing from showing through both the body and the eyes for a polished finish.
