Product Details
Did you like the Octopus Slippers but think, “What if I wanted octopuses on my head?” Then this is the pattern for you. Worked in stranded colourwork using fingering weight yarn, Enter Octopus has two octopuses swirling around the body, meeting in a tentacular crown. This pattern has instructions for 3 sizes, with a slightly different chart for each size; you can further tweak the sizing by adjusting the gauge. The charts show the number of stitches for long stretches of one colour, to save you the hassle of counting.
