Originally seen as part of TOFT's Dye Club crochet subscription in a stunning hand-dyed colourway of vibrant yellow, blue and white inspired by the blue-ringed octopus, Graeme the Octopus has been one of the most loved projects among TOFT fans since his debut in 2018. The unique shaping and 'make bobble' technique used on the tentacles are a great way to add some additional crochet techniques to your skillset, and now you can supersize this pattern with TOFT's CHUNKY yarn for a giant version of this majestic ocean-dwelling creature. What's more, there is an entire crochetalong dedicated to Graeme the Octopus on @toft_uk Instagram videos, where you can view daily videos from July 2024 and learn everything you need to complete your project!
There are more than 300 species of octopus in the oceans of the world and they come in a variety of shapes, sizes and colours. They are masters of camouflage with the ability to change the colour, brightness and pattern of their skin to adapt to their environment or find a mate. Preferring to crawl along the ocean floor, these clever creatures can zoom through the water and release ink if threatened, and they can also survive out of water for several minutes.
