i’m starting to get the urge to learn how to knit and that scares me

[sarcasticsciencefictionwriter]

Back on the crochet posting again, because I think I just don't understand. 😓

I am attempting a blanket that is solely a single crochet. That's it. Just repeating a single crochet over and over.

My book(let) says it should look like this:

This is what mine looks like so far. (Excuse the bad lighting and my legs)

I'm assuming these are the two loops I'm supposed to be going through:

Basically, the two along what I'm thinking of as the 'spine'.

In my yarn in this particular section, both of those stitches/loops are blue. BUT am I supposed to be hooking the purple that is over the front from the previous row and ONE blue, not both blue?

I'm just very confused, because while it is solid (and tight, I crochet tightly no matter what size hook I'm using) it does not look like the example.

The whole thing is the full spread of my arms (not tightly, I can't hold it taut that way) and if I'm misunderstanding, I want to know before I get too far.

(I know there are videos, but I have a hard time following them)

Crocet octopus November 26 2024.

I haven't made a video tutorial for this yet because so far have no really good way to prop my phone up so that you can see what I'm doing, while I'm not quite literally dislocating a rib trying to contort my arms to crochet.

I am using two strands of worsted weight yarn (or thereabouts) and a 6mm crochet hook. Smaller or larger yarn or hooks will make your resulting octopus bigger or smaller. Use whatever you've got.

The base of the octopus and the tentacles

Chain 3. 

Double crochet 8 times into the first chain. Slip stitch to close.

Chain anywhere from 8-12. I usually do 10. This will determine how long the tentacles are.

When you get to the end of the chain, go back along it, single crocheting once into each chain.

When you are back at the base of the octopus, single crochet into the next stitch over, and chain the same ammount as the first tentacle, once again going back down it with single crochets.

Repeat this until you have eight tentacles.

The body of the octopus

Close the last tentacle with a single crochet into the base, and then start adding single crochets around the circle of the base, using spaces between the tentatcles, to start forming the body.

When you get around to the other side, slip stitch to close.

For the next row of the body, make two normal single crochets, then an increase, and repeat this all the way around. Slip stitch to close.

For the next two rows, make only a single crochet in each stitch.

For the 5th row, decrease every other stitch. You can start filling the octopus now, and add safety eyes if you have them.

Now to form the little braclet part it's a little repetative.

Chain however many chains are required to easily fit around your hand, or the hand of your recipient.

Then cut your yarn tail with an inch or two extra length. Now undo those chains you just made, back to the last row where you decreased.

Pull your yarn through the last loop to fasten it off, and then use your hook to pull this (very long) tail through the top loop of each stitch around your last row, pulling towards the center. When you get around back to the start, make sure you've finished stuffing the octopus, then pull the long tail to cinch the opening shut like a drawstring.

Now pull tight and slip stitch anywhere to secure this, and now once again repeat those chains you did before to form the bracelet section.

Connect the end of this long chain back to the top of your octopus again with a slip stitch, fasten securely, and then use your hook to pull any remaining tail inside the octopus to hide it once you know it won't come undone.
