Sew 4 of the legs together, with matching
yarn and a yarn needle as follows: at one end of
the leg - overlap leg #1 halfway over leg #2 and
stitch from the end in about an inch or so.
Overlap leg #3 over leg #2 and stitch as you did
with legs 1 and 2. Repeat one more time to join
the 4th leg. Set these 4 legs aside for
the moment and sew the other 4 legs together.
Sew both sets of legs to the bottom of the
head.
Using black yarn and a yarn needle, embroider
a face on your octopus. I used French
knots for the eyes and nose and the outline
stitch for the mouth. You could also make
eyebrows with a straight stitch if desired.
Optional: Make a face out of felt and
sew or glue on instead of embroidering.
Caution should be used if face is glued on - do
not give to a child under 3 as the glued felt
piece will pose a chocking hazard.
