[@ariley832]

everyone talking about “mine had 7 legs” “mine had 6” “mine had 9” tell me how i got 13 in there. his name is Lucky.

[@soomiko]

Well sometimes the octo gods bless them with more legs

[@avacado1170]

I got 15...

Has anyone ever noticed how pretty and calm most crochet people’s voices are?

[@zeexyrze]

they always have adorable accents too, I love it so much

[@linoslefttoe4348]

i know right i love listening to them

[@gabrosy7535]

I found her voice to be not as soothing as others, but her video seemed why more realistic and not to edited, it was nice to see her mistakes and how she fixed them

[@maddy9087]

Probably because they have a lot of patience for crocheting

I THOUGHT IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EASY!!!! I CANT EVEN DO THE FIRST STEP I JUST WANNA CRYYYYY

[@ChrissehCat]

Keep trying, I'm just starting to learn to crochet. I got upset the other day while practicing just doing rectangles, but I've been doing tutorials for two days now had a lot of start-over rounds but I just kept on going until I got the hang of it. ^_^; I'll sometimes start the first step over multiple times until I get it the way I like it. This is my second project and despite it only having 7 legs it's still cute as heck!

[@caoimhenoodle2833]

I know exactly how you feel, I started on this pattern and had to rip it out a million times, and when I finally got it finished it had 5 legs. Now I am pretty good at amigururmi. Once I understood every step, it came easier and easier. ;) ~Happy crafting!

[@ChaoticTaco04]

hey, i know how that fells. The way i started as a complete beginner was just watching simple videos and writing down what things meant. I have a notebook of just crochet terms/ patterns i liked lol. YOU CAN DO THIS

[@tendouii.]

My chains are lose and idk why :")

[@discontinuedanimationchann5819]

i literally decided to randomly teach myself to crochet and i started with this video and made one of these it was so easy to follow once i got it down and i love the little green octopus i made!!

[@CreateOsaur]

Great job on just learning crochet!

[@violetlove3580]

Aww dude me too! I made a bunch of lil octos n jellies for my fam for xmas 😊🐙 🤙

[@battlewhale1980]

My boy has 5 legs and no eyes, but I love this little dude more than my own brother.

[@Randomela]

If he were a person; five feet (there are people having that kind of genetic disease) and no eyes (a rare few have it as well) i would love him no matter who he is.

[@ameliaren]

This is literally the only thing I know how to crochet. I've made so many that I know the instructions by heart and most of my friends and family have at least 3 or 4 of these each by now in various colors. I'm OBSESSED.

[@ghostleecomics]

Her: this is a good time to get out a stitch marker... Me: realizes I already lost track

[@aida4521]

🤣🤣🤣true. I love crochet but there are too many holes and im totally fed up.. But my mom, oh my she so talented.. Im jealous.

[@unicornster]

I lose track even with a marker,🙍

[@AbLaV]

I tried without a marker thinking i could do it. I came to the conclusion that i need a stitch marker

[@cowsonmars9168]

[@teresahernandez1435]

This was so easy and so cute thanks! For your next tutorial maybe let us know how many stitches we should have after every round, I’m a new crocheted and I find it helpful when videos let me know how many stitches I should have after every row just in case I missed one or have too many I can go back and fix what I missed. Thanks! Xoxoxo

[@thatoneweirdgal8469]

Just felt like mentioning that you gave me my first ever crochet project and ever since that first octopus awakened my crocheting spirit I've moved on to making cardigans and amigurumi's for myself and my family so this video will always have a special place in my heart

[@galaxymustache8356]

the moment she says "You may need a stich marker." I run up to my room to go get a bobby pin.

[@CreateOsaur]

Galaxy Mustache Well whatever works! For awhile before I had stitch markers I used safety pins.

[@melodywong8815]

that's smart! thank you for the tip!

Omg this helped me so much. Before this video all I knew how to crochet was single chain pattern and now I feel confident doing all the patterns needed for this you explained it all wonderfully. I'm left landed so it takes a lil longer to watch the video and get it tho lol. I made my first one and it looks great. I'm looking forward to more crocheting tutorials. Thank you.

[@CreateOsaur]

Thanks for the heartwarming comment! I'm so glad I could help you grow and gain confidence. More tutorials are on their way. ;)

[@fuzzy-zx5xy]

I 100% agree! I was at the same level but now, after redoing this a few times, I feel like I have so much more knowledge about crochet!

[@samanthaholtz441]

This is literally the most adorable thing ever! I️ found the same pattern online earlier today but I️ don’t know how to crochet so this was really helpful!

[@maggychihua691]

Mine would've only had 3 legs (I have no idea what went wrong), so I just made a slip knot out of the tail and hung that sht on the tree.

this made me laugh thank you

[@addyeskimo7125]

This is an amazing tutorial! I’m 15 and I usually do loom knitting since I’m not the greatest at crocheting but this was my first time crocheting anything and it turned out so wonderful and so cute. Now I’m going to make dozens of them so I can have a small army!

[@violetlove3580]

Honestly this pattern is so fun, and actually pretty easy once you get the hang of it. Can't stop making tiny octos n jellies to give to people. So ridiculously adorable. Thank youuu 🥰🐙🥰

[@skipperino2677]

I followed this and it turned out lovely! I had to reference outside videos for some parts (mostly with technique and to make the tentacles), but he’s beautiful. In case anyone was curious, his name is Octavian and he’s pink because it’s the only thread color I have right now

[@CreateOsaur]

Octavian sounds majestic

[@skipperino2677]

CreateOsaur honestly my boyfriend named him that because it’s an octopus pun, but i feel the same way

Thank you so much, this was my first amigurimi project, this project sparked my love for ami. Making these got me through some very rough times. I have made close to 1 hundred octopuses among with many other projects. I have made them for almost my whole dance team. Thank you again so much!❤🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙🐙

Second project this week, have only been learning to crochet for about 3 days. Mine ended up with 7 legs, so I guess it's a septopus xD Love the tutorial! Will definitely be making more of these.

[@hazel1446]

This video is super helpful! My only problem is that I can't figure out the part about only crochet into the back loop... I never get the little ridges and always have to guess at where to put the legs. I made sure to crochet into the loop you pointed out, but maybe I'm still doing it wrong somehow... Great video anyway!

[@bethjohnson9256]

I’m a beginner too. I’ve only made a disabled owl with uneven wings :) what does “increase” mean? “Two single crochets in one stitch” that means in one hole where you start the single crochet you’d do two stitches back to back not one like normal?

[@CreateOsaur]

To do the two single crochet in one stitch. First do one single crochet like normal, but instead of moving on to the next stitch like normal, you will go back into the hole from the stitch you just did and do a single crochet again. This makes it so you have 2 in one spot.

[@catto-the-almighty-goddess]

My first one came out great, but I messed up on my second one in a few spots and I pulled the yarn too tight and I tried to fix it so he’d still have 8 legs which means half his legs are smooshed together. Anyway they are Octavius and his little brother Inky and I love them
