Crocheted Sixtopus

"Crocheted Sixtopus is a handmade stuffed animal toy for a newborn baby. Make it from any light weight #3 yarn of your choice. Octopuses (in my case Sixtopus) are popular in Europe where they give them to prematurely born children because tentacles represent the umbilical cord and help vulnerable babies get well sooner. Follow a free written pattern or crochet along instructional video (on my blog). All you need to know is how to crochet chain, single crochet stitch, single crochet two together, double crochet stitch, and slip stitch. Great item to gift to any new mom or dad for their baby."
