Octopus and Squid Minigurumi
Why choose just one? This pattern lets you crochet both a mini octopus and a mini squid—each made in only 52 stitches, no sewing, all squish! The octopus is a round little hugger, while the squid has pointy flair. Together, they’re unstoppable… unless distracted by snacks.
