Otto the Octopus - english pattern

This is a digital PDF file. The file will be available after purchase. 

Otto is an easy-to-knit teddy bear worked on size 3mm needles. The octopus is knitted from the top to the "fingertips", and stitches are picked up for the arms after the head is finished. The entire project is knitted using the magic loop technique (I recommend learning the technique via YouTube if you're unsure).

The bear can be knitted with a variety of yarn qualities. Use whatever leftover yarn you have! Gauge may vary. The most important thing is that the stitch pattern is tight enough for the bear to be stuffed with filling. It is recommended to choose a yarn or yarn combination that gives a gauge of between 18-22 stitches per 10 cm.

Yarn suggestions
Approximately 65 g of Double Sunday from Sandnes Garn (Each arm requires about 4 grams of yarn)
