I have just finished a knitted octopus for Nancy's daughter (Nancy loves to crochet, hates to knit).
Here he is, crawling around my mother's sitting room ....
This is the picture from the book - I made him with Petra size 5 (available on my website!) and size 2.5mm needles.
And this is the book he came from - Amigurumi Knits by Hansi Singh. I enjoyed making this creature and I love the finished piece, but you do need to be an experienced knitter to make these - and using thinner (and slippery) yarn and small dpns made it even harder (the pattern is for double knitting, easier to do but I think the small scale improves the look).
