You will need
I use mixed cotton/acrylic yarns types mainly 170-185m/50g.
B-1/2 mm crochet hook
sewing needles;
scissors;
toy stuffing (fiberfill);
stitch marker;
pins;
scraps of yarn for embroidery (you may want to use embroidery thread);
black eye beads.

Body and Head
Start crocheting the tummy of the octopus. In blue.
1: 6 sc in a MR [6]
2: inc in all 6 st [12]
3: (sc, inc) x 6 [18]
4: sc, (inc, 2 sc) x 5, inc, sc [24]
Start crocheting the tentacles of the octopus.
5: (ch 25, start in second ch from hook, (sc, dtr) x 12 FLO slst in next 3 st on the octopus tummy) x 8 [8 tentacles] (pictures 1-5)
Change to off-white, cut the blue yarn.
6: (8 hdc, 15 sc, inc, continue on the other side of the tentacle, inc, 15 sc, 8 hdc, skip 1 st on the octopus tummy, sc in next st on the octopus tummy, skip 1 st on the octopus tummy) x 8 [8 tentacles] <SIst in next st. Fasten off and weave in the yarn (pictures 6-9). Go back to round 4 of the tummy. Pull up a loop of blue yarn in the first leftover back loop. Start crocheting the body and head.

1: BLO, slst in all 24 st [24]
2: BLO, sc in all 24 st [24]
3: (3 sc, inc) x 6 [30]
4-5: (2 rounds) sc in all 30 st [30]
6: 2 sc, (inc, 4 sc) x 5, inc, 2 sc [36]
7-8: (2 rounds) sc in all 36 st [36]
9: 2 sc, (dec, 4 sc) x 5, dec, 2 sc [30]
10: sc in all 30 st [30]
Stuff the body and head with fiberfill and continue stuffing as you go.
11: (3 sc, dec) x 6 [24]
12: sc in all 24 st [24]
13: sc, (dec, 2 sc) x 5, dec, sc [18]
14: (sc, dec) x 6 [12]
15: 6 dec [6]
Fasten off, leaving a yarn tail. Using a yarn needle, weave the yarn tail through the front loop of each remaining stitch and pull it tight to close. Weave in the yarn end (pictures 10-13). Go back to round 1 of the body and head. Pull up a loop of blue yarn in the first leftover front loop. Start crocheting the frill.
1: FLO, ch 2, 3 dc in next 24 st [72]
Slst in next st. Fasten off and weave in the yarn ends

Eye (make 2)
In off-white.
Ch 4. Stitches are worked around both sides of the foundation chain.
1: start in second ch from hook, inc, 1 sc, 4 sc in last ch. Continue on the other side of the foundation chain, 1 sc, inc [10] Slst in next st.
Fasten off and weave in the yarn. As this part is very small, I highly recommended splitting a separate yarn tail into strands and using a single strand of off-white yarn to sew the eyes between rounds
4 and 9 of the body. Sew the black eye beads or embroider eyes with black yarn.

Finishing Touches
*Embroider cheeks under the eyes using fuchsia yarn. Embroider the mouth with a single strand of green yarn.
*Sew the star on the body as you like.

Small Star
In off-white.
1: 5 sc in a MR [5]
2: inc in all 5 st [10]
3: (ch 5, start in second ch from hook, 2 slst, 1 sc, 1 hdc, slst in next 2 st on the small star base) x 5 [5 arms]
Fasten off, cut the yarn, weave the end in between the stitches.
Congratulations

Skill level: easy+
Stitches and abbreviations (US crochet terms):
Slip stitch (sl st),
chain (ch),
single crochet (sc),
hdc – half double crochet,
dc – double crochet,
st(s) – stitch(es),
rep – repeat

About the pattern:
– Work in continuous rounds. Do not join or turn unless otherwise instructed.
– Use a stitch marker and place it in the first stitch of the round to mark the beginning of it.
– Leave each piece a long tail for sewing.

BODY
1: Start 6 sc in a magic ring [6]
2: Work 2 sc in each st around [12]
3: (Sc in next st, 2 sc in next st) rep 6 times [18]
4: (Sc in each of next 2 sts, 2 sc in next st) rep 6 times [24]
5: (Sc in each of next 3 sts, 2 sc in next st) rep 6 times [30]
6: (Sc in each of next 4 sts, 2 sc in next st) rep 6 times [36]
7: (Sc in each of next 5 sts, 2 sc in next st) rep 6 times [42]
8-12: Sc in each st around
13: (Sc in each of next 5 sts, sc2tog) rep 6 times [36]
14-15: Sc in each st around
16: (Sc in each of next 4 sts, sc2tog) rep 6 times [30]
17-18: Sc in each st around
19: Working in the back loops only, (sc in each of next 3 sts, sc2tog) rep 6 times [24]
NB! Later the little ruffle will be crocheted in the front loops.
Now let`s make the tentacles. The first tentacle is shorter, the second one is longer. This gives a fun look.
The entire round is crocheted in the front loops only, the back loops are left for crocheting the next round. Marking the first back loop with a stitch marker makes it easier to find the beginning of the next round.
20: Ch 25. Starting in the second chain from hook, (2 sc in next st, sc in next st) 12 times, sc in each of next 3 front loops. Ch 35. Starting in the second chain from hook, (2 sc in next st, sc in next st) 17 times, sc in each of next 3 front loops. Repeat the instructions 4 times in total to form 8 tentacles.
21: Working in the back loops of the previous round, (sc in next st, sc2tog) rep 8 times [16]
22: Sc2tog around [8]
Cut the yarn leaving a long tail. Close the hole and weave in yarn end.

RUFFLE
Use the contrasting color. Hold the body upside down and start in the first front loop of round 19. Pull up a loop and ch 1. * Sc + hdc in the same loop, 3 dc in the next loop, hdc + sc in the next loop. Repeat 9 more times from *, only now start crocheting in the next stitch.
Embroider the face.
Congratulations
