You may have already caught wind of our upcoming crochetalong and we’re very excited to confirm that we’ll be crocheting Graeme the Octopus together this July, from the 1st to the 12th.
As always there’ll be video techniques over on Instagram @toft_uk so we can all get to grips with the rows, bobbles and clever shaping that create each tentacle. This design looks amazing in every shade of TOFT yarn so we can’t wait to see what colours you all choose. We’ve made him in ARAN and Chunky yarn too, and we’re excited to see if anyone sets themselves the challenge of crocheting a Fine octopus during the CAL!
There is also now a YouTube video talking through the tentacle construction for those eager to get started ahead of the CAL or for you to reference in the future.
The CAL pattern break down is below and also in your digital pattern. Happy crocheting!
