Birthday Octopus

I had to have a birthday present for a little boy and had a vision of an octopus in my head. I sketched it, Mark drafted the pattern, and voila! A purple velour octopus!


He is "gently stuffed" so his body is cuddly soft and he is able to either stand or sit on his tentacles! or, as see, he can hop on someones head!


Perhaps he needs a birthday hat on his head before I send him on his way.
