OMG you're an absolute angel! I got the absolute most perfect octopus Amigurumi kit with the best stuff in it. EXCEPT for the fact the instructions were confusing & their video tutorial was even more confusing. So I followed your tutorial instead (which is extremely close to their pattern but you explained in plain English) and ended up with a perfect octopus. You saved my butt, thank you!!
I've never tried crocheting before but after watching several tutorials of pretty much the same octopus and failing every time, you helped me to finally do it right! I'm so happy about my little friend 🐙
This was so amazing! I had picked up a bunch of crochet supplies while I was pregnant but when I actually tried I got frustrated. 5 months later, I got the urge to crochet again today, and this was the first tutorial I picked. You taught me single stitches, double, increasing and decreasing, and a super detailed tutorial to follow! You even showed me the steps, which was so amazing as I went into it with 0 knowledge on how to crochet. I did use a different size yarn so my boi is a bit smaller, but he has 8 legs, is stuffed properly as you said to use more than I thought, and he’s closed up nicely!! Thank you so much and I can’t wait to do another one of your videos.
Your spoken with the written and visual instructions are amazing. I am an absolute beginner. I have made 3 of these so far. 1 has 9 tentacles. Lol one is huge and o e is tiny. They aren't perfect but each one is better than the previous. ❤❤
Yeah that confused me too. I think I'm just gonna slip stitch a couple stitches and make 8 instead. I'll put my eyes on the opposite side and make the extra space the back.
I started amarigumi when I was nine, I used written patterns but they didn't work out. I made a with your video and it was the first time my plushie didn't look like a dying rat. lol
once you made the 2nd sc in r1, how do u know which one is the very first chain u did?? I keep getting confused and I can’t find it which makes my r1 octopus look like a strawberry instead of a circle
Stitch markers! :) what helps me is once you make the magic ring and you have 6 starting stitches put a stitch marker on the 6th loop (so the last stitch you did) not the loop on the hook. Do your next row and the last stitch should be right after the loop on your hook, take it out and put it on the next loop and so on
This is a really cute pattern and I just made 1, it ended up with 18 tentacles so I thought “oh user mistake!” I just made another one and it also ended up with 18 tentacles. I followed the pattern exactly. I don’t know what I did wrong, and how you got 10 tentacles when there were 18 stitches. Please explain! Thanks! But they are still really cute! But please explain to me. Happy crocheting!
@@onecentcrochet thanks! I did do the slip stitch, would I do 2? Like tentacle, slip stitch, slip stitch, tentacle? Thanks for responding to the first one!
@@Made_By_Qyou would slip stitch, chain ten, increase back down the chain, slip back into your current stitch, and slip stitch into the next stitch. Repeat as follows. That would put a slip stitch between each tentacle, making 9 of them instead of 18! 🐙
lol - Mine came out with 9 also, so I went back to look at the instructions, and it clearly says at 12:35 to do row 11, 9 times, and I paused the video to count her finished product, and hers has 9 legs too.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me when it say x6 does it mean do that same thing six more times in the same round or 6 rounds of that same pattern I’m so confused 😭😭😭😊
hey i think youre probably using a hook too small for your yarn, and you might be making the stitches a bit too tight. try using a hook a size bigger, or even two sizes bigger if the head is very pointy. also try loosening your grip on the yarn to make the stitches a bit looser. experiment and tweak these adjustments until you get the result you like :)
I just made mine and I'm sooooo obsessed! I cant wait to make more of your patterns!
The fact that I ended up with 12 tentecals buts it’s still so cute😂😂😂😊❤
Me too 🤣🤣
@@JuliePilgreen Me too....oh well still super cute!!
Sameee
Haha one thing to help with that is counting your stitches yo make sure you have 18 when you start the tentacles
😂
could you maybe do a ferret? theres no good tutorial for it and its my dream to make it and ur tutorials are always so good
Nubbie here. Did with you turned out great. Need work on my tension. Thx so much.

It was so hard with the type of yarn I had to see my stitches but after many hours of struggling I DID IT!!!! Thank you for this cutie 🐙
Great tutorial! The instruction was clear and easy to follow. My octopus turns out cute and beautiful.
Can you do a dog one please 🙏
What a lovely tutorial. Even I managed to make a cute octopus. Your instructions are so clear and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing. ❤❤
Your tutorials are my favorite! Thank you so much. I have a cute little octopus now.

I’m so happy to hear that this tutorial helped you!
I love your videos soooo much I also love the way you put the written pattern on the screen bc it also helps me read patterns!!
Thanks for the last minute birthday gift idea
Will try this one.

I'm glad you liked it! 😄
Hi can we do this with cotton yarn as well thin one
You can do it with any type of yarn
For some reason on my last tentacles have 3 stitches left. How many tentacles are there supposed to be. I thought 8
9 tentacles!
Yeah that confused me too. I think I'm just gonna slip stitch a couple stitches and make 8 instead. I'll put my eyes on the opposite side and make the extra space the back.
I just checked mine and I got ten & I have no idea how but it looks right so whatever ig 😂
Hello, can you do a one elephant❤❤

I thought I was doing something wrong 😂
Please do a hedgehog they are my favourite!!❤
Thank you for sharing. Nice and easy to follow thank you 🥰🥰

Thanks you for the pattern.
I started amarigumi when I was nine, I used written patterns but they didn't work out. I made a with your video and it was the first time my plushie didn't look like a dying rat. lol
They only have 8 arms
once you made the 2nd sc in r1, how do u know which one is the very first chain u did?? I keep getting confused and I can’t find it which makes my r1 octopus look like a strawberry instead of a circle
Maybe try a stitch marker? My daughter had trouble too
Stitch markers! :) what helps me is once you make the magic ring and you have 6 starting stitches put a stitch marker on the 6th loop (so the last stitch you did) not the loop on the hook. Do your next row and the last stitch should be right after the loop on your hook, take it out and put it on the next loop and so on
Nice 😊
This is a really cute pattern and I just made 1, it ended up with 18 tentacles so I thought “oh user mistake!” I just made another one and it also ended up with 18 tentacles. I followed the pattern exactly. I don’t know what I did wrong, and how you got 10 tentacles when there were 18 stitches. Please explain! Thanks! But they are still really cute! But please explain to me. Happy crocheting!
Hi! You may have missed the slip stitch into the second stitch, rather than doing a tentacles into every stitch.
@@onecentcrochet thanks! I did do the slip stitch, would I do 2? Like tentacle, slip stitch, slip stitch, tentacle? Thanks for responding to the first one!
@@Made_By_Qyou would slip stitch, chain ten, increase back down the chain, slip back into your current stitch, and slip stitch into the next stitch. Repeat as follows. That would put a slip stitch between each tentacle, making 9 of them instead of 18! 🐙
My tentacles are floppy and hanging down. How did you get yours to stay up like that? 🙁
You either didn’t do much chains or you didn’t increase enough
I’m a bit late lol but how do you know where the first stitch is I wanna learn but it’s very confusing!!
Can you make one for a dog please 🙏 I subbed btw
Hola, que número de gancho es por favor, muchas gracias
thanks!!
Mine keeps coming out with 9 legs any suggestions
lol - Mine came out with 9 also, so I went back to look at the instructions, and it clearly says at 12:35 to do row 11, 9 times, and I paused the video to count her finished product, and hers has 9 legs too.
Can anyone PLEASE tell me when it say x6 does it mean do that same thing six more times in the same round or 6 rounds of that same pattern I’m so confused 😭😭😭😊
Yes ×6 means to do the same pattern 6 more times
Not 6 rounds but 6 more times in the same row
Why when your project is flat mine is a dome?
My five tentacle no eye tissue filled octo is adorable
I ended up with 14 tentacles 😂 still cute looking
I ended up with 21 tentacles countrd
Why does my head keep turning out like a cone 😢
hey i think youre probably using a hook too small for your yarn, and you might be making the stitches a bit too tight. try using a hook a size bigger, or even two sizes bigger if the head is very pointy. also try loosening your grip on the yarn to make the stitches a bit looser. experiment and tweak these adjustments until you get the result you like :)
So this may be late, but something i do is skip the first round (6sc) and just do 12sc.(6inc), this usually helps.
What how
Hi ,commented on one of your other posted and u replied!! and I just wanna say thank you so much for showing the best patterns and if u can u pin me?
I got 18 tentacles🤣😂
