Pre-Printed Fabric: Knitting Octopus

It's an Octo-knitter! Designed by request (multiple requests!), this multi-armed octopus is the envy of every knitter. Created using only basic stitches, this pattern is great for ambitious beginners. Made mostly using single stitches and the backstitch (easy peasy!), its suckers are made using a detached chain (link) and a few French knots are added for added effect. The "knit" pattern is made using a simple backstitch with chain stitches added on top.

Pre-printed fabric is a great option for experienced stitchers who need minimal instructions and already have their own hoops, thread, and needles. This isn't your first rodeo! All prints are sized for a 6" embroidery hoop on an 8 1/2" x 8 1/2" square of unbleached cotton muslin.

We use minimal packaging so there's fewer pieces for you recycle and it lowers our environmental impact.

If you need a few "how-to" reminders, you can find a full set of English and French instructions and our Stitch Guide on our Free Downloads page.

Included in the kit:

• pre-printed pattern on unbleached cotton fabric
• stitch legend showing what stitches to use to complete the design

Level: Ambitious beginner friendly
