Greetings dear community, a few days ago my niece asked me to make her a reversible octopus, I really don't know who had the idea of inventing these reversible octopus stuffed animals, but they have become very popular everywhere and many people can't resist the temptation to have one, to change the smoke of the octopus as the person feels, I think it is a very light way of taking mood swings today, where even young people find themselves in trouble when it comes to expressing their emotions . On the other hand, I saw that on the Internet there are already many versions of the octopus made in the amigurumi technique, there are even many headlines, so obviously my project is not something unique in the world, but I am very happy to share the process with you, because for me niece yes that will be special and for me too.
Proceso/ Process
For this amigurmi I used green wick yarn for one side and pink for the other, black acrylic yarn just for the eyes, #3 crochet hook and a large eyelet needle, I also used some anti-allergic fiberfill. I started making the tentacles, starting with 3 single crochets with pink wick and 3 single crochets with green in a ring. I made 6 increases for two rows until I got 18 stitches, I made three rows without increases, then I made one row with 6 decreases, then I made two rows without increases. I repeated the procedure for all 8 tentacles, stuffing just a little each.
For the head I took the green thread and made 6 single crochets in a ring, then I made 6 increases for eight rows until I got 54 single crochets, I made six rows without increases, I made 6 decreases in the next row, then I made two rows without decreases I repeated the procedure but with pink thread.
For the eyes on the smiling side with black thread I made 6 single crochets in a ring and then I increased 6, leaving a long tail to sew, repeating the procedure for the other eye. For the angry eyes I made 5 chains and then 5 slip stitches in each of the chains, then over these stitches I made 1 slip stitch, 1 single crochet and half double crochet together, 3 double crochet together, 1 half double crochet and single crochet together , to finish with 1 slip stitch. I repeated the procedure for the other angry eye. I embroidered the eyebrows and the mouth with the same black thread.
Para coser se debe tomar uno de los lado y coser uno por uno las puntadas de los tentáculos con las puntadas de la cabeza correspondiente al color, luego se debe hacer lo mismo del otro lado de color diferente.
