I decided to make my man this octopus as part of a college sucks care package.



The pattern can be found here and on Ravelry.

So I found this pattern over on Ravelry for a cute little owl toy and decided that it would be perfect for our friend's little boy, since everything they buy for him is owl-themed. 



This is a super easy and fun project that I knit while on the bus to and from class. Honestly the most challenging part of this is sewing it together.

Some changes I made- instead of crocheting the eyes, I chose to make them out of felt that I had laying around the house. Also I chose to leave the beak a little open so it looks like he’s talking. 

The pattern is free on Lion Brand's website and can be found here: http://www.lionbrand.com/patterns/80765AD.html
