Thanks for all the info !! 💕
This link doesn’t work, where can I find the pattern? Help please 😅
@@thisjustin5043 it's on my channel :)
@@HookedbyRobin thank you so much for responding! All I could find was the “short” when I looked. I’m an elder millennial but I feel like I’m 110. 😭🤣 I’ll try to find it again.
@@HookedbyRobin oh gosh, I went to your channel and found it right away this time. 😅🤦🏻♀️ sorry and thanks again!! 💖
Also another tip........ double up on yarn! This is what I do lol. Sometimes you never know how big the difference is going to be! It's a surprise! ☺
😅
Great Tip!! Sometimes its easier to get it tighter than the super bulky velour yarns.
How do you double up on yarn?
@@Lils.batcave just use two pieces of yarn as if it were one 👍
so you mean to almost double the length of the original amount needed for the “original” smaller sized ones ? 😭
I accidentally discovered this 'trick' when I ended up with a jellyfish 10 times bigger than my trial one 😅
hahaha
Must have been a WHOLE bag of polyfil for the big one!!!!
😂 it took LOADS omg lol
Pvv 0. P0pppppp 0 p p.
if you tear it up and fluff it you can get a little more milage out of polyfill. You've gotta be patient enough to keep "tearing" and fluffing thought.
@@absolutelydegenerate1900but then j squish it snd it goes toegther and then rheres not enough inside
@@HookedbyRobin this is why i stick to small projects
Thank you so much!!😊 this is so helpful because sometimes I struggle upscaling some designs, but I never really thought to change the yarn and the hook.😁 You are amazing
This is an easy cheat! 😀
@@HookedbyRobin halo, I hope you will reply to me as soon as possible. I try to make a big bunny with bulky yarn and original pattern (which is small bunny). But, the head of my bunny don't look good, instead of "CIRCLE" it looks like "RECTANGLE"🤣🤣🤣
I’m trying to do the big chunky one but I’m having trouble seeing where the stitches are...😅 But I’m trying my best!! Oh and btw I’ve made an octopus like a month ago!! It turned out sooo good, thank you for the tutorial!!
You have to feel the V shape with your fingers
I actually like acrylic yarn over chenille, so I double or triple yarn sometimes. You can also scale up the pattern... But you should only do that if you're well-versed enough to write your own patterns.
This is how I taught myself amigurumi. I used blanket yarn and a ig hook!
I love how the yarns called ‘super chunky’
😃🧶
Love it ! This octopus is adorable btw 💕
😃🐙
This was the same way I made my scarf so much faster! Cool to know that this applies with other projects as well
This is terrific Robin! I believe I'm going to make this for my new Grandbaby 😊❤️ Can't wait to watch your tutorial.
Thank you so much!😀
I haven't done this for amigurumi, but I've done it when crocheting and it rings true. When you do the same patterns, but with different yarn and/or different hook size. The project does get larger😋.
Exactly Nya-Lin.😃🧶
This actually helps A TON, thank you
You are very welcome! So glad it's helpful!
You can also change how big the starter circle is and how many times you increase your circle
🐙
Finally someone that uses flutterby yarn. Its so good
It is!😃🧶
I've been desperately looking for somthing that would use 3 balls of bernat blanket yarn (I was dumb and didnt realize how much yardage you actually needed for a blanket!) This is perfeeeeeect!! Thank you ♡
Better to buy too much though than not enough! 😊
Thank you so much! I wanted to make a bigger plushie but then I thought, I had to double the pattern. This makes so much sense❤️
You’re welcome Caitlin, I’m glad it helps.😃🐙
This worked wonders I made a pattern with Bernat blanked yarn and it was HUGE with the recommended hook and I just decided to try to go down three sizes and it came out perfect!
Yay! Amazing. 😃🐙
Finally someone else who uses flutterby yarn!! It is so soft and lovely to use ❤
It is, perfect for Amigurumi!😃🐙
I was literally about to send you this and ask if you made little octopuses too, but it was you that posted lol!! P. S super cute
😅
OMG your giant octopus is so flipping cute!!
He's HUGE and really heavy too 😂🐙
I have a question, if I bought one ball of big fluffy yarn, would that be enough for the big octopus?
I used 2 and a half balls of the SUPER fat yarn (the Cygnet Scrumpaclious) with a 9mm Hook - for the 2 smaller ones, 1 ball is enough 🙂
Thanks!
The smile is everything
😃🐙
Robin, thank you so much for this pattern. My 11 yr old grandson and I made it in two different yarns, with two different hooks with totally different yet awesome results. Thanks again.
You’re so welcome and I love that!😃🐙
@@HookedbyRobin ❤️
my Tako chan lives in Tokyo since Monday. His mom loves him. She says he's therapeutic :)
🥰🐙
THANK YOU
I like the big one most! But it probably took a lot of fill so i might just make the middle one instead
Still just as cute! 😃🐳
@@HookedbyRobin :)
but what if i want the same texture and look for both? cuz i don’t like how the yarn is noticeably different.
I love the pattern
Thank you Lana! 🥰
A LIFESAVER is what you are!!! I've got an octo pattern but I've only got jumbo yarn (& I'm fresh out of patience to find the *exact* yarn it recommends LOL), let's see how big this baby can be!! 😅 *someone send help* 😮❤😅
Let me know how big you make it Brooke!😃
If I show this to my kids I’ll have to make the super thick ones 🫶🏻
Cuteeeee! 🐙😀
Learned this the hard way 😂
Opps! 😂
This is gonna help so much thank you! 😁
You are so welcome 🥰🧶
Thank you so much, I absolutely love the pattern❤.
You’re so welcome!🥰🤗
Omg so big but is cute ❤❤
Mega cute!!😃

You can make your own!😀 I think some people sell them on Etsy too.
Can you do a tutorial on how to crochet a amigurumi Apple that would mean so much and thank you ☺️😃
Could you post a video showing the appropriate hook sizes to yarn sizes or vice versa?? 😁❤

U can also add more stitches or row😊
I'm curious when you do the largest size, what size eyes do you use?
Hi Traci, I can’t remember off the top of my head I’m afraid but you can use any size. No right or wrong.😃🐙
Well that's intelligent! I'm still new at crocheting period so hadn't thought of this. Thanks!🙏

You're so welcome! 😃
What is the size of the eyes for each one of the octopuses?
I used 10mm for the small, 15mm for the middle and 24mm for the giant one 🙂
I’m never using plastic crochet hooks again because I was trying to do your magic rain but the problem is the plastic hooks won’t go through the end
Where can I buy the cygnet scrumpalicious yarn???🥹🥹
Hi Erene, This is where I buy my yarn:
Snufflebean Yarn - UK based, ships worldwide www.snufflebeanyarn.co.uk?ref=7
Ice Yarn www.iceyarns.com/git/681/
LoveCrafts (grab your Stylecraft Special DK and American branded yarns here!) www.lovecrafts.com?a_aid=d9d63dfc
Hope that helps.
🧶
also, another way to make it bigger is:
1st, 6 single crochets into the magic circle
then keep increasing for a few rounds until you like the size
So adorable
I’m all for making bigger the better and running out of yarn 😂😂😂 the octopus is one of the best designs I’ve done
It is super cute isn’t it? I still have the biggest one.😃🐙
Thank you. I want to make both a small frog and a big frog but I didn’t know how to change the size lol, Tysm!🤍
Thank u this helped so much!
Love them!

Ooh squid would be so cute just slight changes to octopus

😃🐙
Está hermoso! Just lovely! ❤️💜
Thanks this really helps 😊😊
I’m glad it helps, they are so cute!😃
i always use like 4/5mm yarn and a 3.5mm hook
😃🐙
Which stitch is used for amugurumi...is it just single crochet stitch?
Yep :)
I liked the to crochet the octopus💟💟💟👍👍👍👌👌👌
Thank you so much for this.
🥰
What size crochet hook should I use for super chunky yarn? It states a 10-12mm one, so should I use 8mm or 8.5mm crochet hook or another size? I know a smaller size is preferable for crocheting, but I don’t know how much smaller to go. Love the vids too though 💚.
