Octopus DK Knitting Pattern - 9092

£3.50
Knit a colourful sea creature collection with this King Cole 9092 knitting pattern. Designed for Double Knitting (DK) yarns, this pattern provides instructions to make two sizes of stuffed octopuses and two sizes of squids, complete with curled tentacles, fins, and embroidered facial details. Knitted throughout on a single pair of 3mm knitting needles, each piece works up with tight, neat stitches that keep the toy stuffing completely contained. We stock the printed pattern leaflet alongside a wide variety of quality DK yarns right here in our shop, so you can easily choose your favourite solid or variegated shades and cast on straight away.

Product Information

Please note that this listing is for the physical paper knitting pattern leaflet only, not the completed toy creatures. Yarn, knitting needles, and toy stuffing are sold separately.

Tension note: Knitted toys require firm, close stitches to prevent toy filling from showing through. When using alternative DK yarns from our collection or your stash, work a test swatch on 3mm needles to ensure your stitches form a tight, neat fabric matching the pattern proportions.
