Crochet toy tutorial

Note: when crocheting toys you should use a smaller hook than it’s indicated on the yarn label, so that the fiberfill doesn’t look through the holes.

Abbreviations:
MR – magic ring
sc = single crochet
inc = increase (2 sc in one stitch)
dec = decrease (2 sc together)
ch = chain

The toy is crocheted in a spiral without a slip stitch at the end of each round.

The bottom part
Rnd 1: 6 sc in a magic ring
Rnd 2: (inc) repeat 6 times [12]
Mark the last stitch of the round, it’s the place to begin joining tentacles.
Rnd 3: (sc in the next st, inc) repeat 6 times [18]
Rnd 4: (sc in the next 2 st, inc) repeat 6 times [24]
Rnd 5: (sc in the next 3 st, inc) repeat 6 times [30]
Rnd 6: (sc in the next 4 st, inc) repeat 6 times [36]

Tentacles
Join the tentacles to the second round of the bottom part. Insert the hook in the last stitch of the second round and take it out through the next stitch.

Fasten off and crochet 40 ch + 1 turning chain

Crochet across the chain (sc in the next stitch, inc) repeat 20 times. Insert the hook in the next 2 stitches of the bottom part, crochet 1 sc.

Crochet 27 ch + 1 turning chain, crochet 27 sc across the chain. Again insert the hook in the next 2 stitches of the bottom part, crochet 1 sc.

Crochet 50 ch + 1 turning chain, crochet 2 sc in each ch.

Make 3 other tentacles in the same way. To make the tentacles different in length increase/decrease the foundation chain as you wish.

Crochet 9 chains (3 of each colour) with different number of chains – from 25 ch up to 50 ch. Carefully weave the ends of the chains through the magic ring of the bottom part. Tie the ends with 2-3 knots.

Upper part
Rnd 1: 6 sc in a magic ring
Rnd 2: (inc) repeat 6 times [12]
Rnd 3: (sc in the next st, inc) repeat 6 times [18]
Rnd 4: (sc in the next 2 st, inc) repeat 6 times [24]
Rnd 5: (sc in the next 3 st, inc) repeat 6 times [30]
Rnd 6: (sc in the next 4 st, inc) repeat 6 times [36]
Rnd 7: (sc in the next 5 st, inc) repeat 6 times [42]
Rnd 8: (sc in the next 6 st, inc) repeat 6 times [48]

Rnd 15: (sc in the next 6 st, dec) repeat 6 times [42]
Rnd 16: (sc in the next 5 st, dec) repeat 6 times [36]

Don’t cut the yarn, join the bottom and the upper parts. Insert the hook through both layers.

Rnd 17: (sc in the next st, skip 1 st of the foundation, 5 dc in the next st, skip 1 st of the foundation) repeat till the end of the round, sl st.

Make a small loop to join the carbin comfortably (optional).
Glue eyes, cut unnecessary yarn on the ends of tentacles. You can tint cheeks a little bit.
