January 5: octopus comforter

ByCraftingintx

Today’s pattern is Octopus Comforter by Donna Wilkins. I used this variegated yarn that I have had for about 20 years. I have made many things with the yarn and have ripped out every one of them because I just didn’t like it. I love the colors in the skein, but I do not like it crocheted or knitted. But, with this toy, I love the look of it. I guess I will just make many toys with the remaining yarn, just to get it out of my yarn cabinet! I used a 3 mm crochet hook and the yarn is Charisma 10 ply Aran by Manukau Wools, colorway 958.
