So I've found the written pattern and I decided to do it in a chunky wool instead of a dk 😂 before taking in to consideration the size.. so it's like 3x the size it should be and I'm on my third ball of wool and I'm still not finished the top half.... when will this end. Im mot looking forward to the bobble stitch 😂
Just found this while on my journey to learn and i think im going to be doing this as my big winter project to test my skills. Thank you so much for the pattern!
Oh that's great! You're ambitious! You'll learn a lot through this process though. I'm pretty sure this pattern covers ALL the basics of amigurumi all in one!
You have saved me. I had another pattern but the directions are almost identical. My instructions started each bobble stitch and FASTENED off on each one. It made no sense to me and was so unwieldy. So much so that I gave up and was making individual bobble stitches and tying them into the tentacle. It was such a mess. Also when I tried to fix it by carrying the yarn instead, I was left with those two stitches on the bobble stitch.........there were no instructions to push the stitch from behind.......and it works marvelously. Now I can carry and push those bobbles up. Thank you so much.
I absolutely love you! Thank you so much for making this tutorial. I have been stuck on how to do the tentacle part. I've been reading through the instructions on a pattern and I could not get it. I had to see it done. Thank you thank you thank you
Yes, it would affect the rest of the tentacles because when you come back down you're making bobbles. I've never made bobbles into a chain before but it sounds tricky!
So lets just say... that i made one of the tentacles on the body part alittle longer about maybe 10 stiches to long... and its just one of them. I tend to loose track very easily.... Could i possibly just needle stitch it on that one tentacle and not go down all the way to the tip of the tentacle. Do you think it would still turn out right??
Very informative! Great job! I have a genuine question though. What is the point of extending the tentacles that way? What is the reason for not doing the 30+40 in one single shot?
Thank you! Sure, a great question that I get a lot. LOL. I like to integrate realistic features and with the octopus I really wanted the tentacles to be tapered! Doing it the way I designed it will create a tapered tentacle, but you can certainly achieve great tentacles the way you're suggesting as well! :)
Hello! The video covers the trickier parts of the pattern. The entire free pattern can be found on my blog. check the links in the description box for that. Thanks!
I need a little help with this guy- I’m on round 11 of the base tentacles and can’t make it make sense. Is it possible the * in the written pattern is meant to go before the sc5? It looks like the first bobble on every tentacle starts about 5 stitches away from the beak.
Thanks for reaching out! No, you don't want to include those additional 5 stitches everytime... just at the start of Rnd 11. Thanks for double checking!
@@offthebeatenhook also wondering this, Im having the exact same problem. after the first tentacle and the sc 6, do you immediately start with a bobble? im very confused
You have to do the 5. Then start with the bobble, sc 4 repeat. It took a bit of trial and error, but i think that it works. I wish shed have shown how to do more than just the first tentacle, but the rest is great!
Oh no! Gosh, I'm not sure what happened, except something must have gone awry! It's the same stitch count and pattern for the upper and the lower tentacles. I'm so sorry that happened, but it sounds like whichever one went awry will need to be frogged!
Thanks for the pattern and for the video tutorial. For me it was a bit big, so I decreased a little, instead of 66, I stayed at 48 stiches, and the same way I decreased the other parts as well. It's not done yet, I'm currently on the last round of the upper part. At the tip of the tentacles do I need to add a chain or I just go on?
Hi! The way it is currently designed is so the tentacles taper towards the tip of them and get wider at the bottom. That's why they're done in 2 rounds. Thanks for clarifying!
Round 11 of the beak and underside of the ARMS says to make 13 bobbles. I have ripped and reripped my stitches, only to figure out on my calculator that 70/5 = 14. Maybe it's a typo, because I just watched the video again, and you do say 14 bobbles. I absolutely love this octopus and can't wait for it to be complete 😊
Hi. I’m so excited to be making this. I have a stupid question: are safety eyes okay to use if I’m giving this to a child? The name implies it but I just want to make sure. Thank u!
Hello There! yes, safety eyes are designed to not come out. Based on the ones you're using, just be sure you're putting the backs on in the correct way. If you put the backs on backwards, they will come off too easily!
I don't understand why the tentacles are split up between the 30 first stitches and then 40 foundation single crochet. Why don't you just chain 70 and work it as one piece instead? It seems extra complicated for no reason.
Thanks for your opinion! Octopus tentacles are tapered (thicker towards the top and thinner towards the tips). I like to add realistic components to my amigurumi animals which is why I designed it that way. Great question!
@@offthebeatenhook oh! That makes sense. Would it work out the same by doing 30 hdc and 40 sc? I'm just trying to think of the easiest way to do it bc my fsc are either way too tight or way too lose, not consistent at all.

I'll bet it looks amazing!!
oh no! haha! It's going to be massive, but it will still be amazing!
I did the same thing😂😂
😅😅😅😅 ikr!! Do not like the bobble stitch! This pattern takes forever!!!
Currently doing it and I'm loving how it's coming out!!!
I’m in the process of making mine!!
The beak giving me trouble .
So would be easier to testicles in 71 inch long rather than 31 and 40 ?
Appreciate very clear instructions and video. This project will make a young child very happy. Love your work!
Normalerweise häkele ich nur Puppen aber deine Anleitung hats mir angetan😍meine Enkeltochter wird verblüfft sein 😇
Thank you so much!

I want to thank you for such a wonderful pattern I busted out 2 Ingrid in 2 months and they both are magnificent
Thank you so much, I'm so happy to hear that!@@codieireland6542
She is so cute and unique!! I love her.
Thank you!!
I loved this tutorial! So helpful!
Amazing tutorial, thank you!
You are the best. I enjoyed it and subscribed. Thanks
Thanks so much!!

You're very welcome!! How did she turn out?
Same here…I had to write to the pattern maker for help..I’m making one from an Etsy seller
Thanks a lot for this video it is so helpful with the written tutoriel 🥰🥰🥰
I am so happy I found this 😭
Awesome - I'm so glad!
Thank you so much for this pattern
You're very welcome!
I am currently working on this and i was wondering would affect the tentacles if i did a chain 41 and sc back down instead of the foundation sc?
Yes, it would affect the rest of the tentacles because when you come back down you're making bobbles. I've never made bobbles into a chain before but it sounds tricky!
Thank you Ingrid's mom!!!

Is there a video on how to do the head of the octopus?

Did you figure out what was wrong??? I am having the same issue 😢
@@offthebeatenhook also wondering this, Im having the exact same problem. after the first tentacle and the sc 6, do you immediately start with a bobble? im very confused
@@offthebeatenhook having this some issue. Does the first bobble on the second tentacle happen on the base???
You have to do the 5. Then start with the bobble, sc 4 repeat. It took a bit of trial and error, but i think that it works. I wish shed have shown how to do more than just the first tentacle, but the rest is great!
Where I can find the Octopus?
Where can I found the written instructions
Hello! You'll find the link to the free pattern in the description box. Thank you and enjoy!
So the under side the the tentacles are quite a bit longer than the main color. What would you suggest I do to fix this?
P.S. I think I miscounted which is why they ended up longer haha
Oh no! Gosh, I'm not sure what happened, except something must have gone awry! It's the same stitch count and pattern for the upper and the lower tentacles. I'm so sorry that happened, but it sounds like whichever one went awry will need to be frogged!
@ Oh shoot! Thanks for letting me know! It sounded like that must have been what happened. So many stitches!! ahh!
Thanks for the pattern and for the video tutorial. For me it was a bit big, so I decreased a little, instead of 66, I stayed at 48 stiches, and the same way I decreased the other parts as well. It's not done yet, I'm currently on the last round of the upper part. At the tip of the tentacles do I need to add a chain or I just go on?
On the pattern for round 39, it states 29 SC back down but in the video it’s 30?
I put an eye in the last row of decrease two stitches together, skip one decrease, then the second eye in the next decrease.
Hi I started this pattern a while ago , why can't the tentacles be done in one long part rather than two setions
Hi! The way it is currently designed is so the tentacles taper towards the tip of them and get wider at the bottom. That's why they're done in 2 rounds. Thanks for clarifying!
Bakarak anlamaya çalışıyorum ama dilden anlayamıyorum çok güzel olmuş ellerinize sağlık
If I use a larger yarn and end up with a larger head would I still place the eyes in the same spot? I'm currently working on making this ❤
Yes, you would! Unless you don't like how it looks, then put them where you like best! Cheers!
Where is the written pattern please, i cant find it??
Hello! You'll find the link to the free pattern in the description box. Thank you and enjoy!
Round 11 of the beak and underside of the ARMS says to make 13 bobbles. I have ripped and reripped my stitches, only to figure out on my calculator that 70/5 = 14. Maybe it's a typo, because I just watched the video again, and you do say 14 bobbles. I absolutely love this octopus and can't wait for it to be complete 😊
So did you add a 14th bobble at the base of each new tentacle?
How do I get the printed pattern?
I cannot get the written pattern to work
I googled Ingrid the Octopus pdf free pattern and found it.
Sooo Beautiful 😍
Thank you!
Where do I find the written pattern
Adorable🌈

Hola podés subtitular en español.gracias no entiendo nada. 😢
Hi! if i didn’t want to do the suction cups, would the pattern still work?
Absolutely! Just replace all the bobbles with single crochet stitches. Thanks for double checking!
