Ika & Tako - Squid & Octopus

A playful depiction of the squid & octopus, Ika & Tako ( いか & たこ ) is greatly influenced by our darling furkids, Rumi & Bolt’s welcome-to-your-furever-home gift… Frankenstein Tako - a kick toy made from a bunch of UFOs put together.

These cleaned up versions make wonderful stash busters & are quite fun to make - the furkids could certainly attest to it as they were already swatting away while I was putting them together, I had to chase after rolling eyes & all!

P.S : Babies & children (adults even) would surely love Ika & Tako as well!

A suitable project for beginners who wish to go further with their skills - basic shaping to tackle, simple knitting patterns to work with accompanied by pictorial guides on making them up.

DISCLAIMER : The suggested yarn would be the closest match to the yarn used in this project. It is advisable to always knit a gauge swatch first before you begin your project.
