Squid Knitting Patterns

I performed a search for free octopus knitting patterns before I had even joined Squidoo. It only seems appropriate that I dedicate a lens to these cephalopod knitting patterns now that I have designed a Squidoo Squid Knitting Pattern!

So what kinds of squid and octopus knitting patterns did I find? These range from toys to hats, iPod cozies to charts and many more.

• Ollie the Octopus - This creature has a mushroom shaped head. The arms are knit and stuffed, so they are stiffer and curled up.
• Octopus - The head is stuffed, and the tenticals don't appear to be, making them a little curly. Button eyes finish him off. You will need to create a free Ravelry account to view this pattern.
• Socktopus - A stashbuster knitting project where each of the 8 legs of this toy Octopus are made out of different sock yarns (giving him "socks")

• Octopus Garden - The head is shaped like a turnip. There is a loop on top so you can hang the toy up in your home.

• Octopus Redux - This is a slight variation of Octopus Garden.
• Jolly Octopus - The legs are short in proportion to the body. Cute and looks like a fast knit.
• Aristotle the Octopus - Knit flat and then seamed.
• George - A felted stuffed octopus knitting pattern.

• Le Octopus! - The legs are short in relation to the body.

• Orla the Octopus - You will need to create a free Ravelry account to view this pattern.
• "Henry" the Octopus - You will need to create a free Ravelry account to view this pattern.
• Squiggly Octopus - Simple with icord legs and a round head.
• Phat Pacific Octopus - A teeny tiny knit octopus

• Little Octopus - This little octopus is smiling!

• Rastapus - Octopus with attitude - Complete with dreadlocks!

• Pieruvre - The pattern is written in french, but I don't think it should be too hard to figure out how to make him.

• Socktopus - Very cute!

• Knit Octopus Bath Mitt - Bring the Octopus to bathtime!
• Octopus Dishcloth - A 2D Octopus design. Design is in written instructions.
• Octopursy - The 8 legs are split in half to form the straps of this octopus backpack.

• Squidoo Squid Plushie- The Squidoo Squid designed by ChemKnits.
• Giant Squid Hat - This hat is HUGE, and would obscure your face, with tentacles hanging down past your shoulders.
• Poor Mojo's Squid Hat - Two long tentacle hang down like pigtails, and there are some smaller ones like fringe around the brim of the hat.

• Squiddy Cat - Garter stitch with low amounts of detail. Should be a fast knit.

• SquidPod Ipod Cozy - VERY cute. See the ravelry page for a photo since there is no photo on the pattern page.
• Squid Shaped Phone Case - Close this phone cozy with buttons that also serve for the squids eyes.

• Squiddy -Sort of resembles a mouse... if a Mouse were dressing up like a squid!

• Naughty Squiddy - A small project, the legs hang straight down.

• Shoney the Squid - There are a lot of details to this knitting pattern that result in a realistic knit toy.

• Tentacular - Tentacular is a scarf constructed out of tentacles and suckers. I promise that it is cute than it sounds!
