Oh, you are so sweet! I had to make 2 of the octopuses, as my daughter wanted a girl one and a boy one.

I hope everyone can follow the directions on this pattern. If not, let me know and I will try to help!

Thank you for visiting my blog and for commenting! It means a lot to me, as I am trying to improve my designs!!

When I get a chance, I'll try to leave a few notes here for you. What part of the pattern are you having trouble with?

All the Best,

Let me know which part of the pattern you are having trouble with. I know what you mean. When you are new to crocheting, all patterns are hard to follow!

All the Best,
Moonglow
