Octopush

Introducing the delightful and versatile Octopush—also known as the Octocube—a captivating toy that you may recognize in its wooden form. This enchanting creation consists of eight interconnected cubes that can be folded and unfolded continuously, allowing you to reveal a variety of engaging and colorful faces. The knitted and crochet versions of the Octopush offer a unique tactile experience that wooden versions simply can't match. Not only are these fabric toys lightweight and safe for children and adults of all ages, but they also provide a wonderful outlet for stress relief. Be warned, though: once you pick one up, it's nearly impossible to put it down!

This comprehensive pattern includes detailed instructions for several construction methods, ensuring that crafters of all skill levels can create their own Octopush:

• Knit
• Crochet
• Plastic canvas
• Paper/card
• Wood (perfect for coloring or attaching photos)
• Mathematician's version, crafted from a single net.

The Octopush makes an excellent gift, especially when lovingly packed in a decorative box. Imagine delighting family and friends with a handmade treasure that combines creativity, artistry, and a flair for fun!

For yarn versions, be prepared to gather small amounts of 12 different colors. The showcased examples are made with DK yarn, but feel free to experiment with any thickness. Just keep in mind that the thickness may affect the overall size of your finished Octopush.

Whether you're looking for a cheerful addition to your crafting repertoire or an imaginative gift for a loved one, the Octopush is sure to bring joy and endless entertainment!
