It’s me again… and apparently it’s Octopus Day 🐙
So, fun fact: October 8th is officially International Octopus Day.
I love octopuses. After cats, they hold a very solid second place in my personal ranking of “creatures that make this planet worth staying on.” Which is impressive, considering they look like they accidentally arrived from another dimension.
Naturally… I made one
I decided to celebrate in the only reasonable way—by making an octopus plushie.
Is it hyper-realistic? Not even close.
Does it look like it has already attended a full day of celebrations and questionable life choices? Yes. Very much yes.
And honestly, I’m fine with that.
The pattern (or lack of it)
This was another “pattern in my head” situation. No written instructions, just improvising as I went—and surprisingly, it turned out to be very simple in structure.
I might actually write the pattern down one day… assuming I manage to sit still long enough to translate chaos into instructions.
The result: large, purple, and slightly suspicious
This is definitely not a tiny amigurumi. My octopus is on the larger side, properly stuffed with that soft silicone filling used for plushies, which gives it a nice squishy shape.
And now it lives on my bed.
Proud. Purple. And, for reasons I cannot fully explain, looking completely stoned.
Final thoughts
Could I have made a more realistic one? Probably.
Do I like this slightly unhinged version more? Also yes.
Sometimes perfection is overrated… and a mildly chaotic octopus just has more personality 🐙
