Cephalopods

Squid Amigurumi Bag


I finally found the magic formula to make the perfect cephalopod bag!! I tried making them before such as this octopus bag and squid bag but I didn't think they were very good for one reason or another.

This one is sturdy and keeps it's shape better because the yarn is held double and it also has a crocheted lining. It's big enough to hold small toys, a phone, monies, keys, and whatever else you can't fit into your jean pockets.

This bag was inspired by these little guys:



I was wondering how it'd look if I made a bigger one and then figured I might as well make it into a bag (for more practical use!)


And to make it more special, I used Radiance craft eyes from Suncatcher Eyes.

Octopus Pattern



I'm sharing my first octopus amigurumi ever!  I actually kept most of my patterns as drafts in Blogger. This goes far back in early 2009. Obviously when I didn't have any safety eyes and used beads instead.

Pattern:

Magic Ring (6 sc)
1. 2 sc in every st.
Go through backloops from now on:
2. Sc in next st, Inc in next st around.
3-6: Sc in each st around.

Start stuffing, insert safety eyes, etc :)

7. Sc in next 6 sts, Dec around.
8. Sc in next 5 sts, Dec around.
